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

backgroundLaparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has garnered popularity as a promising uterus-sparing option for the management of leiomyomas. However, data on fertility and reproductive outcomes, particularly rare complications such as uterine rupture, remain limited. CASE: Twenty-nine-year-old G0 patient with infertility underwent uncomplicated laparoscopic RFA of a 1.18×1.33-cm anterior fundal intramural leiomyoma. She conceived spontaneously 2 years later and presented at 17 weeks of gestation with an anterior fundal uterine rupture, which was repaired successfully. Patient underwent scheduled cesarean delivery at 35 weeks and delivered a live-born 2,390-g boy with Apgar scores of 9 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging at 6 months postpartum (26 months after ablation) revealed no myometrial lesions.

conclusionCurrent data on reproductive outcomes after laparoscopic RFA are reassuring with regard to uterine rupture, but more prospective studies are needed. Although rare, uterine rupture should be considered a potential serious risk after laparoscopic RFA and discussed during patient counseling.
