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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesUterine fibroids (UFs) are the most typical benign tumors of the uterus of women of childbearing age, especially nulliparous women. Symptomatic UFs are associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, etc. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of traditional medicines and enema therapy in reducing fibroid size and associated symptoms.
methodsIn this pilot study, 22 patients from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, diagnosed with UFs were divided into two groups: the trial (n=11) and control (n=11) groups. Trial group patients received Ayurvedic medicines along with
resultsAfter three months of treatment, all patients in the trial group reported symptomatic relief. Complete fibroid resolution was observed in two patients, while one fibroid completely resolved in another patient who had three fibroids. Five patients showed a reduction in fibroid size, whereas one patient experienced an increase in size. On the other hand, the control group patients didn't get relief from symptoms, and the fibroid size either increased or showed no significant change.
conclusionFrom the present study, we can conclude that Ayurvedic treatments could be effective in controlling the size and symptoms associated with UFs.
