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

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of microwave ablation (MWA) in treating uterine myoma and adenomyosis. Materials and Methods: Twenty premenopausal women aged 30-45 years, diagnosed with symptomatic uterine fibroids ( Results: Follow-up showed significant reductions in pain, bleeding, and symptom severity. VAS, PBAC, and UFS-QOL scores all improved significantly. Myoma volume decreased by 33.4%, whereas adenomyosis showed meaningful symptom improvement despite nonsignificant volume change. No major complications occurred. Conclusion: Transvaginal ultrasound- and laparoscopy-guided MWA is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, providing rapid symptom relief and improved QOL with uterine preservation.
