Data-driven analyses to quantify information seeking behaviour for women with uterine fibroids.
Article in Health systems (Basingstoke, England), 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 (UF) are noncancerous growths of the uterus and impact the livelihood of over 26 million women in the United States. Although UF may not have accompanying symptoms, for some women their presence leads to surgical treatment, which can be a difficult decision-making process. Web-scraping of online media is used to identify information-seeking behavior of women searching for UF treatment options. We synthesize the data to describe trends in UF treatment, including the identification of gaps between the information individuals are seeking (demand) and information that is publicly available as a resource (supply), which contributes to this study's creation of the term "information desert." We perform statistical analysis to understand information-seeking behavior, determine the gap between information supply and information demand, and determine the correlation between a doctor's treatment recommendation and a patient's treatment decision as a function of age, symptoms, and knowledge obtained about specific types of treatment.
