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 can be large enough to cause mechanical obstruction of pelvic ureters, which may result in hydroureters and hydronephrosis. Renal impairment frequently results in hypertension due to increased activity of the tubuloglomerular feedback system and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. This process, however, seems reversible because normalisation of blood pressure is possible after the relief of renal obstruction. We report a rare case of a nulliparous woman with a myomatous uterus and an isolated initial complaint of high blood pressure. After proper diagnostic investigation, a uterine mass of 20 cm causing bilateral hydronephrosis was discovered. A successful myomectomy was conducted, which achieved an intact endometrium lining with posterior normalisation of blood pressure.
