Outcomes of cesarean myomectomy in Singleton compared with twin pregnancies: a 10-year retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 evaluate and compare the pregnancy outcomes after cesarean myomectomy in singleton and twin pregnancies.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 100 pregnant women diagnosed with myoma who underwent cesarean myomectomy at Chungnam National University Hospital between January 2012 and July 2022. Of them, 77 were singleton pregnancies and 23 were twin pregnancies. Maternal characteristics, largest myoma size, number of myomas, and surgical outcomes were compared between two groups. Myomas were further categorized based on their size; large myomas were defined as lesions measuring ≥ 5 cm in diameter. Maternal characteristics, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels, operative time, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two subgroups. Continuous variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test, and categorical variables were assessed using the chi-square test.
resultsNo significant differences were observed in the maternal characteristics, largest myoma size, number of myomas, or surgical outcomes between singleton and twin pregnancies. However, subgroup analysis based on the largest myoma size (≥ 5 vs. <5 cm) revealed significant differences in operative time (95.5 vs. 122.0 min, p < 0.001) and the need for transfusion (15.6% vs. 36.1%, p = 0.026). Otherwise, no significant differences were noted in the preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels or the need for massive transfusion (p > 0.999). No patient required interventions, such as the insertion of an intrauterine Foley balloon, uterine artery embolization, or hysterectomy.
conclusionsCesarean myomectomy is safe and effective in both singleton and twin pregnancies, even in patients with large myomas.
