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

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an effective minimally invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids. Uterine rupture is an obstetrical emergency that requires early diagnosis and prompt management to improve perinatal and maternal outcomes. A 33-year-old woman at 37 weeks of gestation who had had previous two uncomplicated vaginal deliveries at term presented with abdominal pain and rupture of membranes. The patient had undergone UAE for the management of a large anterior wall uterine fibroid three years prior to conception. Vaginal examination revealed cord prolapse and ultrasound showed negative fetal heart. Intrauterine fetal demise with cord prolapse was diagnosed. After admission the patient developed vaginal bleeding and features of hypovolemic shock. Urgent laparotomy revealed a ruptured uterus with a large hemoperitoneum and dead fetus in the abdominal cavity. Obstetricians should be attentive to the possibility of a spontaneous uterine rupture in pregnant women who have previously undergone UAE for the management of a uterine fibroid.
