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

Owing to improvements in anticancer treatment, patients' overall survival has been prolonged, and late complications occur more frequently than previously. We successfully managed a case of ureterorectal-arterial fistula (URAF) and external iliac artery (EIA) stenosis due to endometrial cancer recurrence using an endovascular approach, including arterial embolization and angioplasty. The patient was a 48-year-old woman undergoing chemoradiotherapy for recurrent endometrial cancer following surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Tumor involvement and its response to treatment led to the development of URAF and EIA stenosis. Catastrophic bleeding occurred from URAF, and hemostasis was successfully achieved by left internal iliac artery embolization using a mixture of N-butyl cyanoacrylate and ethiodized oil. Nine days after embolization, angioplasty was performed using a stent graft implantation for EIA stenosis. Endovascular treatment is considered a crucial approach for managing both URAF and arterial stenosis, which is surgically untreatable.
