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: Laterally implanted pregnancies-including angular, interstitial, and cornual pregnancies-are rare and diagnostically challenging due to overlapping clinical and imaging features. They may mimic a normal intrauterine pregnancy but are associated with significant maternal morbidity. This case describes a prenatally undiagnosed suspected angular pregnancy complicated by placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Case: A 39-year-old G1P0 woman underwent induction of labor at 37 weeks for fetal growth restriction and gestational hypertension. Postdelivery, retained placenta was noted. Intraoperative evaluation revealed placental tissue in the left cornua concerning for PAS. Placental removal was unsuccessful, and peripartum hysterectomy was performed. Conclusion: Laterally implanted pregnancies are rare and may be diagnosed only at delivery. Early recognition of abnormal implantation and multidisciplinary management are essential to reduce maternal morbidity.
