Failure-mode index

Search what already failed

A searchable index of real negative results, null findings, and replication failures from the published literature — so you can learn what didn't work before repeating it.

WASTE indexes published research — it does not host or republish full papers. Each entry is a metadata record (title, authors, DOI) compiled from open scholarly databases, with the abstract shown in full only where the paper is openly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons); otherwise a short excerpt is shown for reference under fair use. WASTE classifies each work by failure type; classifications are automated and approximate.

Evaluating ovarian blood supply anatomy and variability via digital subtraction angiography in patients with cesarean scar pregnancy undergoing uterine artery embolization

Guo Zheng, Huiling Gao, Zhao Jin et al. · 2026 · Frontiers in Medicine

BackgroundPreservation of ovarian perfusion is a critical consideration during uterine artery embolization (UAE), as inadvertent disruption can reduce ovarian reserve. Given the complex and variable anatomy of ovarian blood supply, this study aimed to characterize its anatomical origins and variations using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in patients undergoing UAE for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).MethodsThis retrospective study included patients with type II or III CSP who underwent first-time UAE at Heibei Maternity Hospital, China, between August 2020 and October 2024.
