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 arteriovenous malformations or fistulas have been well documented in the peri-partum setting; however, there is limited data on uterine artery aneurysms, particularly during pregnancy. A 25-year-old gravid female presented with an aching left lower quadrant pain during her second trimester and was found to have a large left uterine artery aneurysm. Given the high-risk pregnancy in the setting of worsening pain and increased size of the aneurysm sac, the patient first underwent left uterine artery embolization with microcoils. Completion angiography and Doppler US imaging showed successful occlusion of the left uterine artery aneurysm. The patient subsequently underwent dilation and evacuation without major blood loss or complication. There was persistent thrombosis of the aneurysm sac on the 6-month CT follow-up. This case demonstrates the short and long-term safety and efficacy of uterine artery embolization with microcoils for the treatment of a large uterine artery aneurysm.
