Laparoscopic Management of Cornual Ectopic Pregnancy: A Narrative Review.
Review 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
Cornual ectopic pregnancy is a rare obstetric condition characterised by high diagnostic complexity and a significant risk of serious haemorrhagic complications. The specific vascularisation of the uterine horn increases the likelihood of uterine rupture, typically occurring in later stages of pregnancy and leading to higher maternal morbidity. In this context, advances in minimally invasive surgery have established the laparoscopic approach as a treatment option for selected patients. This narrative review aims to synthesise the available evidence regarding the laparoscopic management of cornual ectopic pregnancy by analysing the anatomical and pathophysiological basis, the main diagnostic challenges, the therapeutic alternatives, and the laparoscopic surgical techniques currently in use. The review also examines reported clinical outcomes, the profile of complications, and considerations related to fertility preservation. Based mainly on evidence derived from case reports, small case series, and retrospective observational studies, laparoscopic treatment performed by experienced teams appears to be associated with favourable clinical outcomes and acceptable safety profiles in selected patients; however, the heterogeneity and limited level of evidence underscore the need for further comparative and prospective studies.
