Role of Interventional Radiology in Management of C-Section Scar Ectopics.
Article in Acta medica Lituanica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Cesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy (CSEP) is an uncommon but potentially fatal syndrome defined by the implantation of the gestational sac inside the scar tissue of a prior cesarean surgery. The incidence of cesarean deliveries is rising, currently accounting for up to 6% of all ectopic pregnancies. CSEP causes unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment because it can lead to serious problems like uterine rupture, placenta accreta spectrum, bleeding, and infertility. Case report: This report describes two patients with Type I CSEP who were treated by using a less invasive method that involved injecting methotrexate and potassium chloride (KCl) guided by ultrasound. Both patients showed improvement, quickly lost fetal heart activity, and had lower blood beta hCG levels without any issues during the procedure. Transvaginal ultrasonography was important in diagnosis and therapy planning. Interventional radiology approaches, especially image-guided targeted therapy, provide promising fertility-preserving options compared to the traditional surgery. The research backs this careful approach for patients who are stable, with Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) being helpful in some cases. Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of using a team of specialists and shows that interventional radiology is a key part of improving treatment for CSEP, making it safer for patients, lowering risks of complications, and protecting their ability to have children in the future.
