Safety and effectiveness of transcervical radiofrequency ablation for uterine fibroids in patients with obesity: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
key messageTranscervical radiofrequency ablation is a low-risk, uterus-preserving option for symptomatic fibroids in women with obesity with significant improvement of bleeding disorder, including ≥ 40 kg/m
objectiveTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcervical radiofrequency ablation (TFA) for uterine fibroids in women with obesity.
methodsRetrospective multicenter cohort at two German Fibroid Centers. From 574 consecutive TFA cases, we included patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsSixty patients were analyzed (age 43.59 ± 6.52 years; BMI 35.72 ± 6.72 kg/m
conclusionTFA showed a very low complication rate and clinically meaningful bleeding improvement in women with obesity, with comparable outcomes across BMI strata, including ≥ 40 kg/m
