High-intensity focused ultrasound in adenomyosis treatment: Insights on safety, efficacy, and reproductive prospects.
Review in Women's health (London, England). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The management of adenomyosis has undergone significant evolution, moving from traditional surgical interventions like hysterectomy to more conservative methods aimed at preserving fertility. Essential roles have been played by uterine-sparing surgeries and uterine artery embolization. Despite these advancements, there is a growing interest in less invasive alternatives. This review delves into the potential of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). HIFU employs focused ultrasound waves for precise ablation of adenomyotic lesions. The review conducts a thorough analysis of HIFU principles, safety, efficacy, and its possible synergies with other therapies. HIFU seems to be effective for adenomyosis treatment, demonstrating a favorable adverse effect profile and suitability for fertility preservation. Combining HIFU with hormonal treatment appears to enhance long-term symptom control, presenting a promising and comprehensive approach for managing adenomyosis. The goal of this article is to develop a comprehensive understanding of HIFU's role in contemporary adenomyosis management and to explore areas requiring further research.
