Fertility Outcomes After Uterine Artery Embolization for Symptomatic Uterine Arteriovenous Malformations: A Single-Center Retrospective Study in 33 Women.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo describe the clinical and fertility outcomes after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 33 patients with uterine AVMs who underwent UAE at our institution between May 2013 and May 2021. The inclusion criteria were diagnostic features of uterine AVM as detection of the nidus and early venous drainage on angiography. The exclusion criteria were high levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin indicative of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with a diameter of 500-700 µm (with or without Gelfoam/Glue) was used in 32 procedures and, Glue (with lipiodol) was used in one. The patients were followed up for 31 months (range, 6-90 months). Angiograms, medical records, and phone interviews were used to describe the technical and clinical success, complications, and pregnancy outcomes.
resultsThirty-three patients with a mean age of 31.2 ± 5.4 years (range, 21-42 years) were included in this case series. Technical success was reported in all patients (100%). Bleeding control was also achieved in 32 (96%) patients. Pelvic and puncture site pain and groin hematoma were reported as minor complications (grade 1 according to CIRSE classification). Six pregnancies (33%) occurred after uterine artery embolization. Four women had full-term pregnancies without complications and delivered healthy newborns. Another two women were in the second trimester of pregnancy with a favorable fetal condition. No post-embolization miscarriage was reported.
conclusionThe UAE is safe and effective in controlling vaginal bleeding caused by uterine AVMs, allowing successful future pregnancies.
