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 fibroids are a common gynaecological condition. A key factor when deciding on surgical approach for fibroid management is a patient's age and desire for fertility with uterine-sparing treatment generally recommended in women who are aiming for future pregnancies. This case report discusses a woman who presented with a very large multi-fibroid uterus. In this case, a hysterectomy was recommended due to safety concerns however, this advice was declined as the patient desired uterine preservation. Fertility testing showed that the patient was not peri-menopausal and abdominal myomectomy was safely performed to good effect. This case report outlines the surgical approach undertaken, in addition to considerations for fertility and pregnancy management.
