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

Secondary abdominal pregnancy implanted in the broad ligament poses a high risk of catastrophic hemorrhage because of complex parametrial vascularization. Optimal surgical planning is therefore critical. A 28-year-old primigravida at 13 weeks' gestation was diagnosed with secondary abdominal pregnancy at Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child Care Hospital in October 2023. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging precisely delineated placental attachment to the posterior leaf of the left broad ligament and identified adjacent hypervascular parametrial structures. Based on the imaging findings, a hemorrhage-control-oriented surgical plan was developed. Exploratory laparotomy enabled stepwise devascularization, controlled blunt placental dissection, and selective salpingectomy. Total intraoperative blood loss was limited to 50 mL. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin normalized within 2 weeks. No complications occurred. Magnetic resonance imaging-based preoperative vascular mapping enables tailored surgical planning and minimizes hemorrhagic risk in patients with broad ligament abdominal pregnancy. Structured placental management with controlled blunt dissection may represent a feasible surgical approach.
