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 artery embolization is an established treatment for symptomatic fibroids, yet concerns persist regarding reproductive outcomes, particularly with intracavitary submucosal lesions. The current report describes the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented with severe menorrhagia and transfusion-dependent anemia. Investigations, including pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrated a large intracavitary submucosal fibroid completely occupying the endometrial cavity. She underwent an uncomplicated bilateral uterine artery embolization using polyvinyl alcohol particles, achieving near stasis on the left side and complete stasis on the right. Sixteen months later, she achieved spontaneous conception and experienced an uncomplicated antenatal course and healthy full-term delivery. No evidence of fibroid expulsion, infection, sepsis, or obstetric morbidity was observed. This case suggests that favorable reproductive and obstetric outcomes may be achievable after uterine artery embolization even for large intracavitary fibroids. It contributes to the growing evidence supporting uterine artery embolization as an alternative for women seeking fertility preservation in cases with similar characteristics.
