Step-by-step ultrasound guide for rudimentary horn pregnancy diagnosis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that poses significant risks if not recognised early, as rupture can result in severe maternal morbidity. Early diagnosis is both challenging and crucial. Ultrasound pattern recognition plays a central role in identifying RHP, with MRI serving as a valuable adjunct in suspicious cases. Here, we report a case of an unruptured RHP diagnosed in the early second trimester, following a failed medical termination attempt 6 days prior due to early fetal demise. We present a step-by-step ultrasound diagnostic approach, emphasising the importance of recognising this rare condition. In rare instances, as illustrated in this case, a large unruptured RHP may be misdiagnosed as an intrauterine pregnancy or another form of ectopic pregnancy. This underscores the need for clinicians to be familiar with atypical image findings. Accurate diagnosis and precise localisation of the pregnancy are essential for optimal management.
