Hysterectomy for Large Uterus by Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS).

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
Background and Objective: When the uterus is or more than 18 to 20 weeks in size, laparotomy but not minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is commonly performed for hysterectomy. It is, however, acknowledged that MIS carries numerous benefits to patients compared to laparotomy. The uterine size should therefore not be an excluding factor for MIS. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of MIS for hysterectomy for large uterus and explain specific techniques employed. Methods: Data from 73 laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomy cases were collected. Cases were divided in two groups based on uterine weight (≥500 g vs <500 g). Estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time, length of hospital stays, and perioperative complications were compared between the groups. Results: The average specimen weight in two groups was 244 ± 102.75 g vs 903 ± 438.18 g ( Conclusion: With advanced surgical skills and the adoption of specific techniques, hysterectomy for large uterus can be performed safely and efficiently by MIS.
