Comparison of transvaginal or transumbilical tissue extraction at laparoscopic gynecologic surgery: A 12-year experience.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo present our surgical outcomes by comparing the transumbilical and transvaginal methods for the removal of specimens in laparoscopic surgery of fibroids and adnexal masses during our 12 years of experience.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at our referral center between January 2012 and April 2024. We evaluated surgical outcomes, patients' clinical-demographic characteristics, cosmetic-pain scores and dyspareunia by comparing the two methods that we use routinely.
resultsWe retrospectively reviewed 285 patients. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores at 24 h were lower in the transvaginal group than in the transumbilical group (0.4 ± 0.6 vs. 0.8 ± 0.8, P < 0.001). The 3-month postoperative cosmetic score (CS) was higher in the transvaginal group than in the transumbilical group (4.5 ± 0.5 vs. 4.1 ± 0.6, P < 0.001). Furthermore, myomectomy and transumbilical were independent risk factors for lower VAS scores 24 h post surgery (myomectomy: odds ratio [OR] 3.42, P = 0.001, transvaginal route: OR 0.41, P = 0.005). Finally, the transumbilical extraction route and extension of the umbilical incision were independent risk factors for lower CS (P = 0.035 and P = 0.028).
conclusionRemoval of the specimen via the transvaginal route in laparoscopic adnexal mass and fibroid surgeries may lead to less pain in the early postoperative period and better cosmetic results without increasing the duration of the operation, the rate of intraoperative complications, and the rate of dyspareunia.
