Cesarean Myomectomy: Necessity or Opportunity?
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fibroids in pregnancy are increasingly common, due to advanced maternal age, better diagnostic tools and use of assisted reproductive techniques. Cesarean section (CS) is the commonest mode of delivery in these patients. Cesarean myomectomy (CM) is the term used to describe the removal of fibroids at CS; it has always been a controversial topic, with two schools of thought. Some obstetricians advise against it due to the traditional fear of massive obstetric hemorrhage and its attendant complications. However, recent literature advocates elective or opportunistic myomectomy in well-selected cases during CS. This is especially valuable in low-resource settings where the patient may be spared a repeat surgery and problems of anesthesia and cost associated with it. This review examines the recent published data on CM, its indications, technique, safety and applicability in modern obstetrics.
