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

backgroundA rare case of cesarean scar diverticulum located deep to the anterior lip of the cervix treated by combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a special case report of a patient with cesarean scar diverticulum who was diagnosed as having a cervical mass. SUBJECTS: A 33-year-old female patient was admitted to our gynecological emergency due to abnormal uterine bleeding that lasted for two weeks and aggravated for one day. A suspected cervical mass detected by ultrasound examination in several hospitals. No specific lesions were found through cervical biopsy. Finally, she was diagnosed with a special cervical cesarean scar diverticulum via magnetic resonance imaging and surgical exploration. The pathology results obtained from the procedure confirmed the diagnosis of a diverticulum within the cervical myometrium.

conclusionsDiverticulum within the cervical myometrium is extremely rare and can easily lead to misdiagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for differential diagnosis. Laparoscopy combined with hysteroscopy is feasible and reasonable for the closure of the diverticulum without leaving dead space.
