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
Spontaneous bilateral ectopic pregnancy is extremely rare, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 200,000 spontaneous pregnancies. Diagnosis is challenging, particularly in rural and remote settings where clinicians may have limited experience with rare presentations and reduced access to advanced imaging and specialist support. This report presents the case of a 36-year-old woman (gravida4, para 3) who presented to a rural hospital with vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain at 4 + 5 weeks of gestation. Serial quantitative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels increased from 962 IU/L to 6545 IU/L over 15 days. Transvaginal ultrasound demonstrated no intrauterine pregnancy, a right adnexal mass, and bilateral haemorrhagic ovarian cysts. She was admitted with suspected right tubal ectopic pregnancy. After discussion regarding the ultrasound findings and management options, the patient was consented for a right salpingectomy. However, at laparoscopy, bilateral unruptured tubal ectopic pregnancies were identified. Following an intraoperative discussion with next of kin, a right salpingectomy and additional left salpingostomy were performed to preserve natural fertility. Her postoperative recovery was uncomplicated and she was discharged home with serial quantitative testing of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels until negative. Histopathology confirmed bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies. Bilateral ectopic pregnancy is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. This case highlights the potential diagnostic significance of bilateral corpus lutea and the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion. In rural settings, limited access to sonographic expertise and fertility services may complicate both diagnosis and management. Bilateral ectopic pregnancy should be considered in suspected ectopic pregnancies with bilateral adnexal findings. Careful imaging review and fertility-conscious surgical planning are essential, particularly in rural and remote healthcare settings.
