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

Retroperitoneal (RP) hematoma is a rare complication of total vaginal hysterectomy. A 45-year-old female G4P3013 with a history of abnormal uterine bleeding refractory to treatment by endometrial ablation and stress urinary incontinence underwent total vaginal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral uterosacral ligament suspension, anterior colporrhaphy, and cystoscopy. After the hysterectomy the left uterine artery pedicle was hemostatic; however, the patient became hemodynamically unstable and anemic. Laparoscopy revealed a stable zone III RP hematoma. Intraoperative observation revealed no further expansion of the hematoma. Left iliac angiography and aortography revealed there was no extravasation from the uterine arteries and gonadal vessels. Four days post-operative abdominal CT showed a stable hematoma. Hemodynamic instability resolved over the post-operative course. RP hematoma must be included in the differential for the evaluation of acute intraoperative hemodynamic instability with an unclear source.
