Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation-Does it really exist? A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acquired arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the uterus can cause life-threatening vaginal bleeding and are associated with previous pregnancy, abortion or pelvic trauma. The pathophysiology is not well understood and the diagnosis is usually made by greyscale ultrasound often with nonspecific imaging findings, hence making it difficult to establish a correct diagnosis and therefore also the true incidence. However, case reports have previously described a connection between AVM formation and placental invasive disorders. In this report we demonstrate a case of a woman diagnosed with an AVM by ultrasound, presenting with menorrhagia after a termination of pregnancy, resulting in an emergency hysterectomy where subsequently a vascular malformation was found in conjunction with a remnant of a placenta increta and a placental site nodule. We hence suggest the hypothesis that these conditions are part of the same pathological process in the spectrum of abnormal invasive placental disorders, and that in the setting of previous trophoblastic processes, vascular malformations may mimic AVMs and ought not in fact to be considered as true AVMs.
