Reassessing hysterectomy.
Article in Minnesota medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hysterectomy is widely used for treating a variety of gynecologic conditions. Most hysterectomies are elective and are performed to treat benign indications for which there are other effective alternatives. Observational studies are increasingly highlighting the effects of hysterectomy and concomitant oophorectomy on a variety of long-term health outcomes including fracture risk, pelvic floor dysfunction, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and neurologic function. Individualizing therapy and discussing appropriate alternatives to hysterectomy is an important responsibility for all health care providers.
