Prediction of operation time for laparoscopic myomectomy by ultrasound measurements.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThis study aimed to develop a regression-based prediction equation for operation time for laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) using ultrasound measurement.
methodsPatients who were to undergo laparoscopic myomectomy from March 2003 to December 2005 were enrolled prospectively in a tertiary institution. Ultrasound was performed before operation. The myoma weights were calculated and converted into mass units (g) by an assumed smooth muscle density of 1.04 g/cm3. Myomas were weighed immediately after operation, and the correlation between these two weights was assessed by linear regression and limits of agreement. A multivariate linear regression model was fitted to the ultrasound parameters and clinical variables to predict operation time.
resultsOf 109 patients, 203 myomas were removed laparoscopically with a mean ultrasound-measured myoma weight of 137.9 (100.7) g, a diameter of the dominant myoma of 6.30 (1.92) cm, and an operation time of 125 (41) min. Strong correlations were observed between the ultrasound-measured and operated myoma weights. A predictive model, in which operation time = 0.14 x ultrasound-measured myoma weight + 1.68 x BMI + 5.21 x operated myoma number + 0.06 x (ultrasound-measured myoma weight x operated myoma number) + 43.97, was developed.
conclusionsOperation time was significantly related to the myoma weight measured by ultrasound. The ultrasound-derived prediction equation is valid and reliable in predicting operation time for LM.
