Durable Improvement in Generic and Fibroid-Specific Quality of Life in Women Treated with Transcervical Fibroid Ablation with the Sonata System After Three Years.
Article in Journal of gynecologic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02228174 (Evaluation of the Gynesonics System for Transcervical Treatment of Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids With Radiofrequency Ablation Under Integrated Intrauterine Sonography Guidance), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Objective: To determine quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) over 3 years after transcervical fibroid ablation (TFA) with the Sonata System. Methods: The SONATA trial was a prospective multicenter interventional trial that assessed the safety and efficacy of TFA for treatment of women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Change in generic health status was assessed with the EuroQol 5-Dimension questionnaire (0-1 scale). Fibroid-specific quality of life (QOL) was measured on a 0 to 100 scale with the health-related quality of life subscale of the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality-of-Life (UFS-QOL). The number of QALYs gained relative to baseline and cumulative QALYs were calculated using the area under the curve at each follow-up visit over 3 years. Results: Among 147 women receiving TFA, fibroid-specific QOL increased from 40 ± 21 at baseline to 84 ± 19 at 1 year and 83 ± 23 at 3 years ( Conclusions: Women treated by TFA with the Sonata System for symptomatic uterine fibroids reported durable improvements in generic and fibroid-specific QOL, as well as clinically meaningful increases in QALYs over 3 years.
