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

Introduction and Importance: Uterus didelphys is a rare Müllerian duct anomaly (MDA), accounting for approximately 10% of congenital uterine malformations. Although often asymptomatic, it may be associated with adverse reproductive outcomes including miscarriage, preterm birth, and malpresentation. Case Presentation: We describe a 20-year-old primigravida who presented at 39 weeks of gestation for elective cesarean section due to breech presentation. She had no history of infertility, miscarriage, or gynecologic complaints. Pregnancy progressed uneventfully, and a healthy male infant was delivered. Intraoperative inspection revealed a second uterus, and postoperative speculum examination confirmed two cervical canals without a vaginal septum, consistent with uterus didelphys subtype II. The postoperative course was uncomplicated, and the patient declined further renal evaluation. Clinical Discussion: This case illustrates that uterus didelphys may permit normal reproductive performance and successful term pregnancy. Diagnosis is frequently incidental, as routine imaging may fail to detect the anomaly. Careful intraoperative examination during cesarean section provides an opportunity to identify unsuspected uterine malformations, enabling appropriate counseling and management of future obstetric and gynecologic care. Conclusion: Uterus didelphys does not preclude successful pregnancy outcomes. Routine vigilance during cesarean section is essential to detect undiagnosed anomalies, which may influence future reproductive counseling and management.
