Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for symptomatic adenomyosis: More areas of concern for more uniform and promising outcomes.
Article in Journal of interventional medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease in reproductive women, which causes serious dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, anemia, and infertility, and has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of women. Considering that the efficacy of the traditional medication and surgical treatment is not ideal, an increasing number of patients are searching for more effective and less invasive therapies. Ultrasound (US)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) has emerged as a new effective and minimally invasive alternative treatment for symptomatic adenomyosis, and it is widely being used in clinical settings. Several studies have proven that it is an efficient and safe treatment modality for symptomatic adenomyosis, but a significant variance in clinical outcomes reported in previous studies was also observed. Herein, we have analyzed the potential causes of this problem from the aspects of the diagnosis of adenomyosis, symptom evaluation before ablation, steps of US-guided ablation treatment, and outcome evaluation after ablation. Simultaneously, the clinical problems existing in the ablation treatment of adenomyosis are discussed, and the directions of future research are pointed out.
