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 artery embolization is a minimally invasive, uterus-preserving treatment for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas that is generally considered safe; delayed infectious complications are uncommon and may be difficult to distinguish from postembolization syndrome. This report presents a case of delayed pyometra associated with a necrotizing leiomyoma following uterine artery embolization. A 41-year-old multiparous woman with a history of two cesarean deliveries underwent bilateral uterine artery embolization for a symptomatic large FIGO type 2 submucosal leiomyoma after declining surgical treatment. Although her symptoms initially improved, she presented three months later with high fever and severe pelvic pain despite only mildly elevated inflammatory laboratory findings. Imaging demonstrated a necrotic leiomyoma with pyometra, and endometrial culture yielded
