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, life-threatening conditions characterized by abnormal communications between uterine arteries and veins, often resulting in severe hemorrhage. This report discusses the case of a 32-year-old woman living in rural Australia, who experienced an acute life-threatening per vaginal bleed following uterine artery embolization (UAE) for an UAVM associated with a cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy. The patient's rural residence posed significant challenges, including delayed access to specialized care and prolonged travel distances. Despite UAE, she experienced a recurrence of hemorrhage and life-threatening blood loss and required emergency interventions, leading to a hysterectomy. This case highlights the lethality of UAVM, the risks of recurrence after UAE, and the importance of close post-procedural monitoring, particularly for patients in remote areas. It also emphasizes the need to incorporate social factors such as rurality into management decisions, advocating for systemic solutions to support high-risk patients.
