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

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (NCE-MRA) for assessing uterine artery (UA) anatomy and report the prevalence of anatomical forms of the UA in women undergoing uterine artery embolization (UAE). Design: Retrospective study. Methods: NCE-MRA images of 110 patients undergoing UAE for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids were retrospectively assessed and the bifurcation patterns of their UAs were bilaterally classified into four types. Results: In our population, 61% of the UAs presented with type I bifurcation, followed by type IV (16%), type III (15%), and type II (8%). Conclusion: Preprocedural NCE-MRA allowed for accurate classification of the bifurcation patterns of UAs.
