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

Background: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is widely regarded as a safe and minimally invasive technique for treating uterine fibroids. However, severe complications such as uterine rupture and septic shock remain exceedingly rare. Case presentation: We report a case of a 42-year-old woman who developed uterine rupture complicated by septic shock one month after undergoing HIFU ablation for uterine fibroids. Conclusions: Although HIFU ablation for uterine fibroids is widely considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure, clinicians should recognize the potential for severe complications, including uterine rupture and septic shock.
