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 fibroids (leiomyomas or myomas) are a major issue for individuals with a uterus as well as a disease with profound disparities for Black/African American (Black) individuals. These disparities have roots in early gynecologic practice where procedures such as forced sterilizations and hysterectomy without consent were common in some areas. The COllaboration for EQuity in Uterine Leiomyomas Specialized Center for Health Disparities and Uterine Fibroids is funded by the National Institutes of Health. Using the research framework of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, informed by the historic legacy of gynecologic surgery, COllaboration for EQuity in Uterine Leiomyomas aims to provide values-congruent care to all individuals with the goal of improving outcomes for all and reduction or elimination of disparities for Black individuals with fibroids.
