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 fibroid embolization is generally considered a standard treatment option for uterine fibroids. Thromboembolic complications, such as stroke, have been reported, but the incidence is rare. A 41-year-old woman presented with refractory menorrhagia due to a uterine fibroid and underwent uterine fibroid embolization via transradial access. On the second day after uterine fibroid embolization, she developed acute neurological deficits, including left-sided weakness, blurred vision, and ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple posterior circulation infarcts without large vessel occlusion. Extensive workup, including echocardiography and telemetry, ruled out cardioembolic sources or arrhythmias. She was managed with therapeutic anticoagulation, neuroprotective agents, and physiotherapy, and had complete visual and neurological recovery at 6-month. This case illustrates a rare complication of uterine fibroid embolization and highlights the importance of awareness and detailed pre-operative counseling regarding this complication.
