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

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is a rare but increasingly recognized complication of prior cesarean delivery that carries significant risk of maternal morbidity. This report concerns the case of a 31-year-old patient who presented at 14 weeks of gestation for surgical abortion and was found intraoperatively to have a CSEP. Despite successful evacuation, she developed severe hemorrhage requiring uterine artery embolization and blood product transfusion. Medical records from the patient's previous encounter at another facility indicated that the CSEP had been interpreted there as an intrauterine pregnancy, leading her to travel out of state for legal abortion care. This case underscores the importance of maintaining suspicion for CSEP in patients with prior cesarean delivery and highlights the role of timely recognition, multidisciplinary management, and the complex impact of restricted abortion access on patient safety.
