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 cavity-myoma fistula is a rare entity which has scarcely been reported in the literature. They are mainly secondary to a treatment and intervention. The reported options for patient evaluation and treatment are mainly invasive such as hysteroscopy. The case, described here, is a 26-year-old woman who had significant symptoms for myoma and went through uterine artery embolization. After few months of being asymptomatic, she complained of continuous spotting with minimal pain; subsequently, pelvic MRI was performed and a clear connection between endometrial cavity and myoma was shown resulting in the final treatment by radio-frequency ablation and the complete relief of the symptoms. The case highlights the importance of the necessity of the proper case selection in terms of size and the site of myoma and also the significance of imaging, mainly MRI, for rare complications corresponding to myoma treatments.
