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

The article "Comparison of operative and fertility outcomes of single-incision robotic myomectomy: a retrospective single-center analysis of 286 cases" by Kim et al. compares the effectiveness of robotic single-port myomectomy against the traditional multiport approach. The study finds similar operating outcomes, complication rates, and pregnancy rates in expert hands for both methods. Our systematic review supports these findings, revealing no significant differences in operative time, blood loss, or complication rates. Recent meta-analysis further emphasizes the benefits of the single-port approach in reducing morcellation time, overall operative duration, and blood loss. Our letter seeks insights on patient selection criteria to minimize conversion rates between surgical approaches and inquiries on learning curve differences. Additionally, we seek cost analysis details for both techniques. We appreciate the authors' valuable contributions to this field.
