Reducing the risk of bleeding after myomectomy: is preemptive embolization a valuable tool?
Article in CVIR endovascular, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeAbdominal myomectomy can be a challenging procedure, with elevated intraoperative blood loss and post-operative complications such as the need for blood transfusion and hemostasis with sometimes hysterectomy. Previous studies suggested that preemptive uterine artery embolization (PUAE) might reduce intraoperative blood loss. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reviewed all cases of abdominal myomectomy in our institution between January 2016 and June 2018. Out of 119 cases, 16 patients had PUAE and 103 did not. The objective of our study was to determine whereas PUAE reduced blood loss and post-operative complication rate.
resultsIn our study, there was no difference between the two groups in regard to average blood loss (128 vs 192 mL, OR 1,00 [0.99;1,01], p = 0,73), difference between pre- and post-operative hemoglobin level (- 1,15 g/dL vs - 1,32 g/dL, OR 0,91 [0.47;1,73], p = 0,79), and post-operative complications (need for transfusion, surgical revision, post-operative embolization, hysterectomy).
conclusionOur findings could not conclude that PUAE is effective in reducing intraoperative blood loss during abdominal myomectomy, but it should still be considered an option for patients with large or multiple myomas, with a specific situation or previously operated, who wish to preserve their uterus.
