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

Background: With the increasing rate of cesarean sections, long-term complications have received growing attention, and the cesarean scar diverticulum (CSD) is one of the 3 major complications of cesarean section. While rupture during pregnancy (especially in the case of scar pregnancy) is well documented, non-pregnancy-related intrauterine infection-induced rupture remains exceptionally rare and prone to misdiagnosis. This article aims to explore its clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment strategies through a typical case. Case Presentation: This article reports a rare case of cesarean scar diverticular rupture due to intrauterine infection. A 39-year-old Chinese woman with two previous cesarean sections presented with lower abdominal pain, intermenstrual bleeding, and postcoital bleeding. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed a 3×2 cm CSD rupture with purulent encapsulated fluid. A repair of the ruptured uterine diverticulum was subsequently done. Postoperative pelvic abscess fluid bacterial culture showed Conclusion: In conclusion, the case presented adds to the body of evidence of diverticular rupture directly caused by non-pregnant intrauterine infection. The risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and management outlined may help in early identification and management of this rare condition.
