Temporary simultaneous two-arterial occlusion for reducing operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06269809 (Temporary Artery Clipping for Robotically-assisted Myomectomy, a Multicentric Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of temporary simultaneous two-arterial occlusions (TESTO) in terms of operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy.
methodsA total of 62 patients with symptomatic myomas were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. In the experimental group, the uterine arteries and utero-ovarian arteries were temporarily occluded with laparoscopic bulldog clamps. The primary outcome measures were operative blood loss and change in hemoglobin.
resultsThere were no differences in baseline demographics between the two groups. The amounts of operative blood loss (56.3 ± 42.8 mL vs. 138.2 ± 48.8 mL, p < 0.001) and change in hemoglobin (1.0 ± 0.5 g/dL vs. 1.7 ± 1.1 g/dL, p = 0.002) were significantly lower in the experimental group than that in the control group. The total operative time was not significantly different between the two groups. However, it took less time for myoma enucleation (13.1 ± 14.6 min vs. 17.6 ± 10.4 min, p = 0.006) and for uterine suturing (19.5 ± 10.7 min vs. 24.6 ± 8.8 min, p = 0.006) in the experimental group than that in the control group. None of patients in both groups developed operative complications.
conclusionThe use of the TESTO procedure is effective in reducing operative blood loss and hemoglobin loss without causing morbidity during laparoscopic myomectomy.
