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

Background and Objectives: Minimizing intraoperative bleeding is pivotal in myomectomy, and blockage of uterine arteries has been reported as an effective approach. We developed a novel technique to temporary occlude bilateral uterine arteries at the anterior cul-de-sac in minimally invasive myomectomy (MIS), including minilaparotomy, laparoscopic-assisted myomectomy, and laparoscopic myomectomy. This study aims to evaluate the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of this technique in complicated myomectomy cases. Methods: Twenty-seven patients underwent minimally invasive myomectomy by single minimally invasive surgeon using bilateral uterine arteries blockage. To match the complexity of myomectomy, 66 open cases performed by generalists were used for control. Results: There were no significant differences in fibroid size, number, or weight between MIS and open myomectomy groups. For intraoperative outcomes, the MIS group showed longer operative time (271.3 ± 72.9 vs 179.9 ± 78.8 minutes, Conclusion: Temporary blockage bilateral uterine arteries enable the safe performance of complicated myomectomy via minimally invasive surgery.
