Prophylactic Use of Uterine Artery Embolization to Decrease Bleeding in Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are the most frequent benign tumors affecting the female reproductive system, particularly during the reproductive years. The case report that follows presents the diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids in a female patient. The 33-year-old female patient in this instance arrived at the tertiary rural hospital with an abnormally large, bloated belly. Upon examination and imaging, it was discovered that the patient had multiple fibroids growing inside her uterus. Here, we present a successful management of uterine leiomyoma with laparoscopic myomectomy where we performed uterine artery embolization before surgical management in order to minimize blood loss during surgery. The case highlights the significance of collaboration between gynecologists, surgeons, and interventional radiologists. Thanks to their combined expertise, the patient was given a variety of treatment options, such as minimally invasive treatments, surgical interventions, and medication therapy. Decision considerations included the consequences of fibroids and the patient's age and desire to preserve fertility. The effect of fibroids on her life expectancy is taken into account. This case emphasizes how important it is to embolize the uterine arteries before having a myomectomy to cure large uterine leiomyomas successfully.
