1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is a major cause of first-trimester maternal morbidity and mortality. Implantation on the uterosacral ligament is exceptionally rare and may lead to catastrophic intraperitoneal bleeding. Case Presentation: A 38-year-old woman using a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) presented in hemodynamic preshock with severe anemia and positive Conclusion: Uterosacral ligament ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare but potentially fatal condition. This case constitutes a maternal near-miss and underscores the importance of maintaining high suspicion and rapidly proceeding with surgical exploration when hemoperitoneum is present and diagnosis is unclear.
