Investigation of cardiovascular disease risk in women with uterine leiomyomas.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular disease risk of patients with uterine leiomyoma using carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), insulin resistance and lipid profile.
methodsA total of 84 reproductive-aged women (20-45 years) were divided into two groups as the study group (n = 42) of women with leiomyoma and the control group (n = 42) of healthy women without leiomyoma. The risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as age, body mass index (BMI), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (Tg), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol and lipoprotein a levels, systemic disorders, cigarette smoking and CIMT were all recorded and compared between groups.
resultsThe mean age, gravida, parity, BMI, total cholesterol level and CIMT were significantly different between the groups (p < 0.05). CIMT after adjusted for the age and age, BMI was significantly lower in study groups (<0.001). Insulin resistance, serum LDL, Tg, HDL, lipoprotein a, and endometrial thickness were comparable between groups (p > 0.05). The number of leiomyoma was significantly correlated with Tg (r = 0. 322, p = 0.037) and LDL (r = 0. 431, p = 0.006). The size of leiomyoma was significantly correlated with HOMA-IR values (r = -0.370, p = 0.016).
conclusionUterine leiomyoma was associated with lipid profile, insulin resistance and CIMT in reproductive-aged women.
