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

The purpose of the present study was to describe the course of changes in laboratory inflammatory markers following bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE) as a treatment for leiomyomas and adenomyosis. The body temperature was measured and blood samples were collected to determine white blood cell (WBC) count and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in 270 patients on the day prior to UAE and for up to 4 days post-embolization. Aside from a single case with a non-inflammatory complication, none of the other cases had any complications. Post-UAE leukocytosis with a mean maximum value of 10.8±3.5x10
