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

A 50-year-old woman presented with recurrent urethral bleeding. Initial dynamic computed tomography scans revealed abnormal enhancement in the corpus cavernosum of the clitoris, supplied by the right obturator artery. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging indicated slight swelling of the corpus cavernosum without intricate vascular tangles suggestive of a nidus. A diagnosis of a clitoral arterial-cavernous shunt was suspected. Treatment involved successful transarterial embolization. Although clitoral arterial-cavernous shunts are uncommon, they can be effectively treated with targeted interventional approaches guided by accurate diagnostic imaging.
