Effects of High-Intensity-Focused Ultrasound Treatment on Benign Uterine Tumor.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
In this study, the effects of high-intensity-focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment on benign uterine tumor patients were examined. A total of 333 patients diagnosed with fibroids or adenomyosis using diagnostic sonography, treated with HIFU between February 4, 2010 and December 29, 2014 at a hospital in Korea, and followed up for three or six months were selected for this study. Their benign uterine tumor volume was measured, and the effects of HIFU treatment on the volume were analyzed according to age, disease, fertility, and treatment duration. The volume of benign tumors of the uterus changed by age in all age groups after conducting HIFU treatment for 3 and 6 months, respectively. The rate of decrease in individuals' in their twenties was the largest, at 64.9%. When the decreasing volume of benign tumors of the uterus was analyzed by type of disease, the treatment efficacy for adenomyosis was the best, with a decrease of 164.83 cm(3) after 6 months. Myoma had the fastest decreasing rate, at 68.5%. When evaluated on the basis of fertility, the volume of benign tumors of the uterus continued to decrease until 6 months after completing all procedures. The volume has continued to decrease for 6 months after all procedures. This study showed that HIFU treatments for uterine fibroid and adenomyosis is an effective non-invasive therapy via reducing the benign uterine tumor volume. Therefore, the HIFU method might replace other conventional treatment methods.
