Total or Subtotal Hysterectomy for the Treatment of Endometriosis: A Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe purpose of the review was to evaluate and compare outcomes after total or subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis.
methodsWe searched four electronic databases: Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science (WoS). The first aim of the study was to compare outcomes after total and subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis, and the second aim was to compare the two procedures in women with adenomyosis. Publications that reported short- and long-term outcomes after total and subtotal hysterectomy were included in the review. The search was not subject to any limitation in terms of time or method.
resultsAfter screening 4948 records, we included 35 studies published from 1988 to 2021; the studies were based on various methodologies. With regard to the first aim of the review, we found 32 eligible studies and divided these into the following four categories: postoperative short- and long-term outcomes, recurrence of endometriosis, quality of life and sexual function, and patient satisfaction after total or subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis. Five investigations were deemed eligible for the second aim of the review. No differences were seen in terms of postoperative short- and long-term outcomes after subtotal or total hysterectomy in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis.
conclusionsPreservation or removal of the cervix in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis appears to have no effect on short- or long-term outcomes, recurrence of endometriosis, quality of life and sexual function, or patient satisfaction. Nevertheless, we lack randomized blinded controlled trials on these aspects. Such trials will be needed to enhance our comprehension of both surgical approaches.
