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 arteriovenous malformations (UAVMs) are rare and abnormal entanglements of uterine arteries and veins that are potentially fatal, requiring blood transfusions in about a third of cases. Although the optimal management of the condition is not well established in the literature, surgical hysterectomy is believed to be the only definitive treatment for arteriovenous malformations. We present three cases of UAVMs treated by a minimally invasive endovascular approach. Chief complaints were heavy menstrual bleeding and sudden onset heavy bleeding. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography imaging and angiography of the pelvic vessels. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed in all patients. The follow-up period was uneventful. In our experience, the UAE provides satisfactory results in terms of success rates, complications, and short hospital stays.
