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

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially life-threatening cause of delayed postoperative hemorrhage. Although pseudoaneurysms are well described after obstetric and gynecologic procedures, involvement of the internal pudendal artery after hysterectomy is extremely rare. A 50-year-old nulligravid woman underwent robot-assisted total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas. During transvaginal specimen retrieval, vaginal wall lacerations occurred bilaterally and were sutured intraoperatively. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 5. On postoperative day 22, she presented with vaginal bleeding originating from the sutured site on the right vaginal wall. Initial transvaginal suturing achieved temporary hemostasis; however, recurrent bleeding occurred later the same day. Three-dimensional computed tomography angiography revealed active extravasation from a pseudoaneurysm arising from a branch of the right internal pudendal artery. Transcatheter arterial embolization using gelatin sponge particles successfully controlled the bleeding. Transvaginal specimen retrieval caused pseudoaneurysm formation of the internal pudendal artery. Transcatheter arterial embolization is an effective and minimally invasive treatment option.
