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

STUDY

objectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of vaginal estriol therapy in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment.

designRetrospective analysis. DESIGN CLASSIFICATION: Canadian Task Force classification II-2. SETTINGS: Department of Gynecology, Yokohama City University Medical Center, Japan.

methodsWe retrospectively investigated 50 fibroid cases that had TLH with preoperative GnRH-a treatment and compared the surgical outcome with or without vaginal estriol use (1mg). Estriol was used administered for two weeks before TLH. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsA total of 12 patients (27%) received vaginal estriol (1 mg) for 14 days before TLH. As a result of vaginal estriol treatment, there were no group differences in uterus size reduction with GnRH-a treatment (22% vs. 15%,

conclusionThe use of vaginal estriol treatment before TLH with GnRH-a therapy did not improve surgical outcomes.
