Spontaneous Heterotopic Pregnancy and Its Clinical Implications.
Article in International journal of women's health, 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
Background: Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare but potentially life-threatening gynecologic emergency and is particularly uncommon in natural conceptions. Heterotopic pregnancies are prone to misdiagnosis due to the atypical clinical manifestations, especially after an intrauterine pregnancy has been confirmed. Case Presentation: A case involving a 31-year-old female who presented with persistent abdominal pain and tenesmus after a medical abortion for a naturally conceived pregnancy is discussed. The initial ultrasound confirmed an early intrauterine pregnancy but a repeat ultrasound revealed a right adnexal mass with an accumulation of pelvic fluid accumulation. Laparoscopic exploration confirmed a right tubal heterotopic gestation. The hysteroscopic examination revealed retained products of conception within the uterine cavity.The patient underwent hysteroscopic removal of the retained intrauterine products of conception and a laparoscopic right salpingectomy. The postoperative histopathologic evaluation corroborated the diagnosis. The patient recovered uneventfully. Conclusion: This case is a reminder that confirmation of an intrauterine pregnancy does not exclude the coexistence of an ectopic pregnancy. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion in patients with ectopic pregnancy risk factors, such as a history of multiple abortions, pelvic inflammatory disease, and/or endometriosis, or in patients who develop persistent or recurrent abdominal pain following an abortion. Early diagnosis and treatment of a heterotopic pregnancy can avert potentially life-threatening complications.
