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

highlights• Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) reduced the median volume of dominant submucosal leiomyomas by 64% and achieved over 90% devascularization in 94.8% of cases.• High patient satisfaction was observed, with 84.5% of patients successfully discharged without needing further intervention.• Severe adverse events were rare, affecting only 3.2% of patients, with pelvic infections being the most significant.• Mild adverse events occurred in 16.8% of patients, including infections requiring antibiotics and persistent vaginal discharge.• A multidisciplinary approach is essential for managing patients with submucosal leiomyomas undergoing UFE to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
