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
backgroundThe main aim of our study involves the analysis of reasons and risk factors for perioperative treatment discontinuation in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids (UFs) who were qualified for magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) and in whom the procedure was discontinued.
methodsThe presented research included 372 women who were primarily eligible for MR-HIFU, but the procedure was interrupted. The reasons and risk factors for treatment discontinuation were analyzed. A statistical comparison of two cohorts (patients in whom the treatment was discontinued and completed) was conducted based on epidemiological factors, UF characteristics and the implementation of uterotonics.
resultsThe mean discontinuation rate was 18.28% (
conclusionAlthough the discontinuation rate seems to be relatively low, further prospective randomized trials are needed to confirm our results. The establishment of particular eligibility criteria for the treatment is a crucial issue in this area. Resigning from the procedure in cases at a high risk of discontinuation might increase patient safety and shorten the time to introduce the most appropriate therapy.
