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

Female pelvic pathologies-including infectious or inflammatory conditions as well as benign or malignant tumors-are frequently encountered in clinical practice and may require tissue sampling, aspiration or drainage to guide management and therapeutic decisions. Due to anatomical constraints, transabdominal or transgluteal percutaneous access to target lesions in the pelvis may be technically challenging or unsafe. In such cases, transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS)-guided procedures offer a valuable alternative, providing direct, safe, and effective access, making it a highly useful technique in both diagnostic and therapeutic contexts. Despite its advantages, broader implementation of TVUS-guided interventions is often limited by variability in procedural familiarity and operator confidence. This review aims to outline the procedural technique, indications, and practical considerations associated with TVUS-guided procedures, with the goal of promoting wider adoption and proficiency among practitioners.
