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

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by congenital absence of both the uterus and vagina. Some patients require surgery to create a neovagina, however, the preservation of a nonfunctional rudimentary uterus after surgery may lead to long-term complications. Herein, a rare case of a giant hysteromyoma after vaginoplasty, in a 31-year-old Chinese female patient who was diagnosed with MRKH syndrome, is reported. The patient, who had undergone vaginal reconstruction 4 years previously, presented with abdominal distension for the previous 2 weeks. Transabdominal ultrasonography showed a firm mass of approximately 10 × 10 cm in the lower abdomen. The patient subsequently underwent an exploratory laparotomy, and a leiomyoma from her rudimentary uterus was removed. Beside this case, seven cases, published between 2004 and 2020, were identified during a literature search. Findings of the present and previously published cases suggest that gynaecologists should pay particular attention to the risks of pelvic complications in female patients with MRKH syndrome who have previously undergone surgery, and select appropriate therapeutic methods.
