Spontaneous Fundal Rupture of an Unscarred Uterus at 28 Weeks Gestation in a Multiparous Woman: A Case Report.
Article in International journal of women's health, 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: Spontaneous uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus is an exceedingly rare but life-threatening obstetric emergency associated with substantial maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Prelabor fundal rupture at 28 weeks is particularly unusual because most uterine ruptures occur in previously scarred uteri. Case Presentation: We report a case of spontaneous fundal rupture in a 36-year-old multiparous woman (G5P4) at 28 weeks of gestation with no previous uterine surgery. The patient presented with sudden severe abdominal pain, progressive abdominal distension, hemodynamic instability, and intrauterine fetal demise. Bedside ultrasound revealed massive hemoperitoneum. Emergency laparotomy confirmed a 4×5 cm fundal rupture with extrusion of fetal and placental contents. The defect was repaired in two layers, followed by intensive multidisciplinary postoperative care. Conclusion: Spontaneous rupture of an unscarred uterus should remain in the differential diagnosis of pregnant patients presenting with acute abdominal pain, shock, and hemoperitoneum, even in the absence of previous uterine surgery, because it may mimic placental abruption or other causes of acute abdomen. Prompt recognition, aggressive resuscitation, timely surgical intervention, and coordinated multidisciplinary care are critical to maternal survival.
