Prevalence of hysterectomy and its determinants in northern Iran: enrollment results of the Tabari cohort study.
Article in BMC women's health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo the best of our knowledge, no population-based studies have provided insights into the prevalence of hysterectomy and its risk factors among northern Iranian females. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of hysterectomy in a large cohort of northern Iranian females.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included data from the enrollment phase of the Tabari cohort study (TCS). The TCS consists of 10,255 adults (4,149 males and 6,106 females) aged 35-70 years who reside in Sari, Mazandaran, Iran, of which 6103 females were included in the study. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to search for hysterectomy determinants.
resultsOur results revealed that the prevalence of hysterectomy among northern Iranian females was 9.7% (595/6103). Additionally, 50-59 (OR: 4.63, 95% CI: 3.57-6.01) and 60-70 (OR: 5.83, 95% CI: 4.28-7.95) age groups, higher socioeconomic levels (OR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.13-2.42), a history of tubectomy (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.05-1.53), and more gravida (OR: 5.35, 95% CI: 1.62-17.63) were found to increase the odds of hysterectomy, whereas living in mountainous areas (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.43-2.75) and having a job (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.45-0.86) were found to decrease the odds of hysterectomy.
conclusionOlder age groups, living in urban areas, higher socioeconomic levels, not having a job, a history of tubectomy, and more gravida were found to increase the odds of hysterectomy.
