Deep Vein Thrombosis as a Rare Post-procedural Complication After Uterine Artery Embolization: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
When a patient is undergoing uterine artery embolization (UAE) which is considered a modality that is safer than surgical management for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), one must acknowledge as a surgeon the existence of rare but serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We encountered such a case where a 34-year-old female (para-3 living-3) with AUB and severe anemia because of heavy bleeding required multiple blood transfusions and was treated with UAE. The procedure was uneventful and the patient was discharged. However, later she presented with DVT of the right lower limb which was promptly managed with an inferior vena cava filter implant and thrombolysis, which prevented life-threatening sequelae such as pulmonary embolism and, potentially, death. Therefore, one must be vigilant about such complications despite UAE being a safer alternative to surgical management for gynecological complaints.
