Patients' age, myoma size, myoma location, and interval between myomectomy and pregnancy may influence the pregnancy rate and live birth rate after myomectomy.
Article in Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectiveTo investigate which clinical characteristics will influence the pregnancy rate and live birth rate after myomectomy. SUBJECTS AND
methodsData of clinical characteristics and reproductive outcome from 471 patients who wished to conceive and who underwent abdominal or laparoscopic myomectomy in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2008 to June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsAverage age in the pregnancy group (30.0±3.7 years) and the nonpregnancy group (31.2±4.1 years) was statistically different (P=.000). The diameter of the biggest myoma had a positive relationship with the pregnancy rate when it was <10 cm (rs=0.095, P=.039). Abortions before myomectomy, operation type, number, location, and classification of myomas, uterine cavity penetration, and uterine volume seemed not to influence the pregnancy rate (P>.05). The location of the myoma may influence the live birth rate after myomectomy (rs=0.198, P=.002). Anterior and posterior myomas were associated with higher live birth rates than other locations (P=.001). The average interval between myomectomy and pregnancy was 16.0±8.7 months, and there was no difference between the abdominal (17.2±8.6 months) and laparoscopic (15.2±8.8 months) groups (P=.102). The interval in the live birth group was 15.0±8.4 months, and that in the non-live birth group was 18.9±9.3 months; the difference was significant (P=.005).
conclusionsPatients' age, myoma size and location, and interval between myomectomy and pregnancy may influence the pregnancy rate and live birth rate after myomectomy.
