1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAdenomyosis is associated with unfavorable perinatal outcomes; however, the effect of an adenomyomectomy on pregnancy outcomes remains unclear. Pregnancy following an adenomyomectomy has been reported to be associated with a high risk for uterine rupture; however, the actual incidence remains unknown.

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of an adenomyomectomy on pregnancy outcomes by retrospectively comparing the pregnancy outcomes of women who underwent an adenomyomectomy with those of women with adenomyosis. STUDY

designThis was a single-center retrospective study in which the pregnancy outcomes of women who underwent an adenomyomectomy and for whom complete resection of the affected tissue under laparotomy was achieved were compared with those of women with adenomyosis. The following pregnancy outcomes were examined: second-trimester miscarriage, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, preterm delivery, spontaneous preterm delivery, preeclampsia, rate of cesarean delivery, blood loss during cesarean delivery, incidence of placenta accreta spectrum, neonatal body weight, and small for gestational age infants.

resultsA total of 18 pregnant women who underwent an adenomyomectomy and 105 pregnant women with adenomyosis were included in this study. All women who underwent an adenomyomectomy delivered via cesarean delivery, and among them, 1 had a uterine rupture at 30 weeks of gestation. Although there was no significant difference between pregnant women who underwent an adenomyomectomy and those with adenomyosis in the incidence of second-trimester miscarriage (0% [0/18] vs 7.6% [8/105], respectively;

conclusionUterine rupture following an adenomyomectomy may occur because of the high incidence of placenta accreta spectrum. However, an adenomyomectomy may reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with adenomyosis, such as preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, preeclampsia, and small for gestational age infants. An adenomyomectomy may be a viable option for women among whom the procedure is inevitable before conception.
