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

Objectives: This study was designed to explore the impacts of clinical features, surgical timing, embryo transfer type, and ectopic pregnancy location on intrauterine pregnancy outcomes among heterotopic pregnancy patients, with the goal of offering evidence-based guidance for clinical management. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 patients with clinically diagnosed heterotopic pregnancy admitted to our center between June 2019 and September 2025. Result: This study included 33 patients with heterotopic pregnancy one conceived after ovulation induction and 32 via Conclusion: Ultrasonic indicators reflecting the development of the intrauterine gestational sac, such as the timing of yolk sac and fetal heartbeat visualization, and crown-rump length, were significantly superior to those of the ectopic gestational sac, indicating a favorable prognosis for the intrauterine pregnancy.
