An Unusual Case of Rising Serum βhCG in the Setting of Retained Products of Conception: A Case Report.
Article 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
Retained products of conception (RPOC) is defined by persistent trophoblastic tissue inside the uterine cavity. This can be present after a vaginal or cesarean birth, miscarriage, or termination. Patients with RPOC often present with abnormal or persistent bleeding per vagina, abnormal vaginal discharge, or pain. The presence of RPOC can be associated with a positive serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (βhCG), which is expected to remain stagnant until resolution of the RPOC. This case report outlines a presentation wherein an inappropriately rising βhCG was found to be attributed to RPOC. This diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology collected during surgical management.
