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

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for the treatment of uterine fibroids has gained widespread clinical application due to its efficacy. However, reports on fertility outcomes and pregnancy complications following this treatment remain scarce. This report presents the case of a 31-year-old woman who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for uterine fibroids. Regular postoperative follow-up revealed a significant reduction in the size of the uterine fibroids. Six months later, the patient successfully achieved natural conception, and her pregnancy progressed without any abnormalities. Given her strong preference for vaginal delivery, she was admitted to hospital at 40 weeks of gestation for monitoring when she began to exhibit signs of labor. However, uterine rupture occurred without any apparent warning during the labor. Following emergency surgical intervention, the neonate and the patient had a favorable outcome. This case underscores the efficacy of percutaneous microwave ablation for uterine fibroids but also emphasizes the need for postoperative follow-up to promptly identify any complications during the third trimester of pregnancy.
