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

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous tumors that affect women of reproductive age. Traditional surgical interventions for uterine fibroids require larger incisions and may require longer hospital stays and recovery times than minimally invasive therapies, such as laparoscopic myomectomy, hysteroscopic myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization (UAE). Preoperative UAE blocks the blood supply to fibroids and reduces intraoperative blood loss. This report describes the successful treatment of a patient with uterine fibroids and thrombocytopenia by UAE followed by laparoscopic surgery. The patient presented with sudden massive genital bleeding and visited our hospital immediately. UAE was performed because of the potential risk of surgical management. Three months after the UAE, a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) was performed to treat uterine fibroids. TLH was completed without bleeding. As a minimally invasive approach, UAE combined with TLH benefits women at a high risk of intraoperative bleeding, allowing the successful completion of a low-risk procedure without complications.
