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

Congenital anomalies of the hymen are uncommon, and their co-occurrence with congenital uterine anomalies is considered even rarer. This case report describes a patient with a septate hymen combined with a bicornuate uterus. A teenage girl presented to the emergency department with a retained intravaginal tampon. Local examination revealed a septate hymen, and hymenectomy was performed. Over the following years, multiple transabdominal pelvic ultrasounds were performed because of persistent functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, revealing no underlying abnormalities of the internal genital tract. However, several years later, a transvaginal ultrasound performed after the insertion of an intrauterine device suggested the presence of a uterine anomaly. The diagnosis of a bicornuate uterus was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and hysteroscopy. Thus, this clinical case highlights the necessity of a thorough internal genital tract evaluation in females diagnosed with congenital hymenal anomalies.
