Laparoscopic hysterectomy as optimal approach for 5400 grams uterus with associated polycythemia: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2019. 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
backgroundUterine myomas are the most common benign gynecological soft tissue tumors in women but polycythemia associated with these tumors is rare. Polycythemia is significantly associated with risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is further increased in case of a large pelvic mass and obesity. Here we report the surgical challenges in the case of an obese patient with a giant fibromatous uterus and associated polycythemia. CASE SUMMARY: A 42-year-old obese woman was referred to our department for treatment for a huge fibromatous uterus. She suffered of pelvic pressure and abdominal distension and reported severe dyspnea from several months. Laboratory analyses including hemoglobin (Hb) 19.2 g/dL and hematocrit (Hct) 59.7% were indicative of polycythemia. Arterial blood gas analysis showed arterial oxygen pressure (pO
conclusionWe believe this is the first reported laparoscopic hysterectomy in a patient with a giant uterus, polycythemia and obesity. Multiple VTE risk factors warranted a laparoscopic approach.
