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 fibroid, widely known as leiomyoma, is one of the most common benign tumours of the female reproductive system. It is not uncommon for pregnancies to be complicated by uterine fibroids. Most commonly, the first line of large uterine fibroids management in pregnancy is conservative, with myomectomy counselling after delivery if necessary. In this paper, we present a case of a very high-risk pregnancy, that was managed by delivery via caesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation, which was performed for a patient, with an 18 centimetres (cm) fibroid, first diagnosed during pregnancy. Interventional radiology involvement was critical in this case for minimizing the final blood loss and surgical complications. Bilateral internal iliac artery balloons were used. Maternal and foetal risks, the timing of delivery, and the options for the management of fibroids in pregnancy will be discussed.
