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

Arteriovenous shunts (AV-shunts) whilst rare, can complicate intrauterine surgical procedures leading to severe vaginal bleeding. We present the case of a 29-year-old woman who experienced sudden, torrential vaginal bleeding 10 days following a hysteroscopic resection and curettage of a placental remnant after vaginal delivery. Ultrasonographic evaluation with power doppler demonstrated a post-traumatic AV-shunt. Tamponading the shunt for 36 hours utilising an intra-uterine inflated Foley catheter successfully controlled the bleeding and led to complete resolution of the AV-shunt. Accurately differentiating an AV-shunt from other hyper vascular entities, such as enhanced myometrial vascularity or arteriovenous malformations, is essential, due to the important differences in therapeutic management strategies.
