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

backgroundUterine artery embolization (UAE) for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) can cause significant pain.

objectivesTo evaluate safety and efficacy of intra-arterial lidocaine during UAE for CSP.

methodsRetrospective study of 255 CSP patients: Control Group (184) without lidocaine; Study Group I (39) with unilateral lidocaine; Study Group II (32) with bilateral lidocaine. Outcomes included VAS pain scores and morphine usage.

resultsEarly postoperative VAS scores (0-2 hours) were significantly lower in study groups (

conclusionIntra-arterial lidocaine during UAE for CSP provides effective analgesia immediately post-procedure but only for the first 2-4 hours, without reducing overall opioid requirements.
