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 myomas during pregnancy can cause significant complications, but postpartum expulsion is rare, particularly from intramural lesions without a stalk. We report the case of a 40-year-old primigravida whose posterior wall intramural myoma enlarged from 3 cm to 21 cm during infertility treatment and pregnancy. The myoma caused inferior vena cava compression, leading to deep vein thrombosis, and remained stable in size after mid-gestation. Vaginal delivery at term was uneventful. Postpartum, the patient developed recurrent genital bleeding and inflammatory signs. Magnetic resonance imaging initially suggested red degeneration, but later revealed penetration of the myoma into the cervical canal, indicating expulsion. Intraoperative findings showed a necrotic, malodorous myoma; cultures grew
