Patterns and Outcomes in the Management of Uterine Fibroids: A Hospital-Based Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundUterine fibroids are common benign tumors that can cause significant symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and reproductive issues.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical patterns, treatment modalities, and patient outcomes associated with uterine fibroids.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at DHQ Hospital Okara, Okara, Pakistan, from June 2024 to December 2024. Data were collected from the medical records of 355 patients diagnosed with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Women who had confirmed uterine fibroids diagnosed through ultrasound were included in the study. Women who received treatment for uterine fibroids and patients with incomplete medical records were excluded from the study. Data were collected from medical records. The demographic information included age, marital status, parity, and reproductive history.
resultsThe majority of patients were aged between 35 and 50 years (69.9%), with a mean age of 41.2 ± 7.83 years. Most patients were premenopausal (231, 65%) and multiparous (266, 74.9%). The most common symptoms were menorrhagia (248, 69.9%) and pelvic pain (195, 54.9%). The most frequent treatment modality was hormonal therapy (142, 40%), followed by surgical management (89, 25.1%) and minimally invasive procedures (53, 14.9%). Symptom improvement was highest in the minimally invasive group (92, 80%), while surgical treatments showed high patient satisfaction (64, 90%).
conclusionsIt is concluded that the treatment of uterine fibroids is largely influenced by factors such as age, fibroid size, and the severity of symptoms.
