Uterine artery embolization in the treatment of symptomatic fibroids - state of the art 2018.

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
Uterine fibroids are considered to be the most common benign tumours in females. The vast majority of these tumours are incidental findings and do not require any treatment. Symptomatic fibroids, with ailments such as abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhoea, pelvic pain, impaired urination, bowel dysfunction, infertility, and recurrent pregnancy loss, are indicated for medical treatment. Surgery remains a first-line treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids; however, minimally invasive techniques and pharmacological management have become more available and popular. Among minimally invasive techniques uterine artery embolization (UAE) is the most well-established uterine preserving treatment. UAE was first introduced in obstetrics and gynaecology in 1987 and since then many studies have shown the safety and efficacy of UAE in fibroid treatment with low rates of complications. In this review we present a novel approach to UAE, which reflects the current state of knowledge based on recent clinical trials and long-term post-procedural follow-up.
