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

Acute abdominal and pelvic pain during pregnancy presents a unique diagnostic challenge. Many pathologies may mimic signs and symptoms attributed to maternal physiologic adaptations and physical examination findings can be confounded by the gravid uterus. While US and MRI are preferred first-line imaging modalities, CT remains appropriate in selected time-sensitive situations when benefits outweigh risks, particularly when MRI is unavailable or for suspected perforation, ischemia, or complicated obstruction. Etiologies are variable and include obstetric-gynecologic disorders as well as other common entities such as gastrointestinal (including hepatobiliary), genitourinary, or even vascular causes. Prompt diagnosis plays a crucial role in appropriate treatment to ensure optimal maternal and fetal outcomes. This paper will explore the depth and breadth of acute abdominopelvic pathologies during pregnancy.
