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

Advanced abdominal pregnancies are rare in obstetrics. They have the potential for implantation of the placenta on highly vascular intra-abdominal structures leading to morbidity and mortality. This report presents the case of a 32-year-old woman who underwent delivery at 31 weeks of gestation of a heterotopic twin pregnancy (intrauterine and intra-abdominal). Delivery was complicated by life-threatening hemorrhage of the placental bed, which was managed with abdominal packing and open abdomen negative pressure wound therapy for temporary abdominal closure. She subsequently underwent primary abdominal closure with the placenta left in situ and serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels trended to zero. Temporary abdominal closure with negative pressure wound therapy is an effective mechanism to minimize surgical morbidity with avoidance of abdominal compartment syndrome and postoperative wound complications in cases of uncontrollable intra-abdominal hemorrhage associated with abdominal placentation.
