Clinical outcome analysis of intramural myoma greater than 8 cm in diameter removed during caesarean section: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo explore the safety and efficiency of endometrial myomectomy (EM) and Serosal myomectomy (SM) for the removal of intramural myoma greater than 8 cm in diameter during cesarean section.
methodsRetrospective analysis and follow-up were used, and 190 cases of pregnancy complicated with uterine myoma from Jan. 2017 to May 2022 in Ningbo Women's and Children's Hospital were collected, 130 cases of caesarean myomectomy as study group, 64 cases of EM as study group A, 66 cases of SM as study group B, 33 cases with uterine fibroids removed before suturing the uterine incision as study group B1, 33 cases with uterine incision sutured followed by removal of fibroids as study group B2, 60 cases of Caesarean section alone as control group. To compare perioperative conditions between and within groups.
results① Operation time, postoperative exhaust time, pre- and post-operative haemoglobin drop, intraoperative blood loss were all more than those of the control group in the study group (68.65 ± 11.87 vs 56.17 ± 9.18 min, 21.04 ± 4.98 vs 17.03 ± 1.3 h, 1.27 ± 0.59 vs 1.09 ± 0.43 g/dl, 613 ± 221 vs 532 ± 156 ml, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.025, P = 0.011). ② For type III and V fibroids, the time of myoma removal, postoperative exhaust and pre- and post-operative haemoglobin drop and intraoperative blood loss in study group A were less than those in study group B (18.02 ± 3.89 vs 20.19 ± 5.32 min, 18.83 ± 2.57 vs 23.93 ± 6.84 h, 600 ± 194 vs 730 ± 277 ml, 1.20 ± 0.57 vs 1.59 ± 0.70 g/dl, P = 0.036, P < 0.001, P = 0.014, P = 0.008); For type IV uterine fibroids, only postoperative exhaust time was less in Study Group A than in Study Group B (19.27 ± 2.2 vs 21.35 ± 3.23 h, P = 0.016). ③ Time of myoma removed was less in study group B1 than in study group B2 (18.24 ± 4.53 vs 20.7 ± 4.59 min, P = 0.033).
conclusionIt is safe and feasible to remove interstitial myomas larger than 8 cm in diameter during caesarean section. EM has the advantage of shorter operation time and less intraoperative bleeding, SM, in a way that the myoma is removed before suturing the uterine incision, can shorten the myomectomy time. It can benefit the patients more.
