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
backgroundRecent literature supports the removal of myomas during cesarean section, which traditionally was considered a relative contraindication, given a higher complication rate. This study is to share our experience of cesarean myomectomy in the last decade.
methodsThis study is a retrospective review of our prospectively maintained database, from January 2008 to December 2017, at a tertiary care level teaching institution. All patients who underwent myomectomy during cesarean section were included. There were no exclusions.
resultsA total of twenty patients underwent myoma removal along with the cesarean operation during this period with a mean age of 30 years. Majority of patients were nulliparous (70%). Common comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (40%) and hypothyroidism (20%). Mean size of myomas were 5.33 cm (± 2.08), and the number varied from one to three. The most common location was the posterior surface of the uterus with the commonest variety being subserous. Most patients were discharged on the fifth postoperative day.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that cesarean myomectomy to be a safe and feasible procedure in experienced hands. It offers the advantage of avoiding a second surgery in selected patients.
