Laparoscopic Abdominal Cerclage as an Effective Option for Refractory Cervical Insufficiency: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cervical insufficiency is an important cause of preterm birth and fetal loss and is traditionally treated by transvaginal cervical cerclage. However, when this technique has failed or is not feasible, transabdominal cerclage may be performed, with the laparoscopic approach emerging as the preferred option. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with recurrent second-trimester loss and a prior failed transvaginal cerclage, who underwent laparoscopic abdominal cerclage at nine weeks' gestation. The procedure was uncomplicated, and the pregnancy ensued without major events. An elective caesarean section was performed at 37 weeks' gestation, resulting in the delivery of a 2765g newborn with an Apgar score of 9/10. This case illustrates the effectiveness of laparoscopic abdominal cerclage as a safe, reproducible, and highly effective option for women with refractory cervical insufficiency.
