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

Selective arterial embolization has long been utilized in the field of obstetrics and gynecology as both a prophylactic and therapeutic measure. We present a case of a highly vascularized, poorly differentiated, radiation-related vulvar sarcoma that was resected immediately following selective arterial embolization. Arterial embolization in patients with gynecologic malignancies has been shown to compromise blood supply to the tumor and decrease the risk of hemorrhage and related surgical complications. In this case, the use of embolization prior to surgery appeared to result in a less morbid procedure for the patient with decreased blood loss and improved quality of life thereafter. Based on the presented case, we believe that arterial embolization can be considered a safe preoperative intervention to decrease surgical risk, particularly hemorrhage, at time of resection of highly vascularized vulvar tumors.
