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

Interventions for controlling uterine bleeding during myomectomy, abound. When, however, the haemorrhage arises from low pressure bleeders in the retropelvic space and threatens patient's exsanguination, hitherto unknown interventions become life-saving. The aim of this report is to bring to fore a case of profuse, unprecedented myomectomy-associated retropelvic haemorrhage that was successfully controlled with combined transvaginal and transabdominal pelvic mop packing. A multipara, who presented with a 2-year history of symptomatic uterine fibroids. Intra-operatively, she developed profuse haemorrhage after the excision of a submucous fundal fibroid in the retro-pelvic space. Two abdominal mops pushed trans-vaginally to pack the pelvis reduced the bleeding by 80%, and a transabdominal mop exerting pressure on the transvaginal mops stopped bleeding entirely. The mops were removed after 48 hours, and she recovered uneventfully. Deep pelvic haemorrhage complicating myomectomy may be successfully stopped by combined transvaginal and transabdominal pelvic packing to save life.
