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

Background: The incarcerated uterus in the nongravid patient is rare, and usually is associated with uterine leiomyomas. Leiomyomas may be treated with uterine artery embolization, but the use of embolization has been reportedly rarely in treating nongravid uterine incarceration. Case: A 50-year-old gravida 2 para 2 woman presented with acute abdominal and flank pain and urinary retention. Her medical history included uterine leiomyomas and nephrolithiasis. Physical examination showed an enlarged uterus (size, 22 weeks). Magnetic resonance imaging showed an incarcerated uterus, complete bladder outlet obstruction, uterine retroflexion and enlargement, and leiomyomas. She was treated with an indwelling Foley catheter, preoperative uterine artery embolization, and total abdominal hysterectomy. Conclusion: Preoperative uterine artery embolization may be a useful adjunct to hysterectomy in the treatment of the nongravid incarcerated uterus associated with leiomyomas in women who have completed family planning.
