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

A multiparous woman underwent induction of labor and progressed to the second stage. During the second stage, an audible "pop" was heard. She developed significant pain and edema. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the patient was diagnosed with a pubic symphysis rupture. Imaging demonstrated a separation of the pubic symphysis of 8.5 cm. By the end of the multidisciplinary care, this distance had been reduced to 3 cm, and the patient was back to baseline function following treatment. This case demonstrates and encourages the use of a multidisciplinary team including radiology, trauma, orthopedics, and obstetrics. A high level of suspicion and effective interdisciplinary communication can result in optimal outcomes for this rare complication, as is seen in this patient.
