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

Uterine intravenous leiomyomatosis is an uncommon tumor, usually arising from the uterus, with nodular masses which extend intravascularly over variable distances and may reach the inferior vena cava, right atrium, and pulmonary arteries. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial as intracardiac leiomyomatosis not only causes cardiac symptoms but may result in pulmonary embolism and sudden death. Complete tumor resection is key in disease management, thus rendering cardiac-extending uterine intravenous leiomyomatosis one of the most challenging conditions for surgical treatment. The use of interventional radiology procedures can facilitate the surgical approach. We report the case of a massive pelvic recurrence of uterine leiomyomatosis with intracardiac extension and pulmonary embolism, analyzing management and surgical outcomes, highlighting the role of interventional radiology during the therapeutic pathway. Nonetheless, there are currently very few data available concerning the use of interventional radiology procedures in the therapeutic strategy of uterine intravenous leiomyomatosis with intracardiac extension.
