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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hysteroscopic myomectomy in the symptoms of women with uterine myomatosis.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study conducted on 119 women with uterine myomatosis who underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy in a tertiary hospital from 2018 to 2023. Women of reproductive age diagnosed with submucosal myoma who underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy were included, and women who did not have the data in their medical records necessary for completion were excluded. The sociodemographic and clinical variables of these women were evaluated.
resultsThe average age of the women was 41.4±6.8 years. Among the fibroids, 37.0% were International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 0 and 52.5% were FIGO 1. The average size of the fibroids was 2.7±1.4 cm. There were 10.0% of complications. After myomectomy, 67.2% of the women had improvement in symptoms, 66.1% opted for hormonal treatment, and 14.3% underwent hysterectomy. Ninety percent of the women who did not show improvement in symptoms had FIGO 1 and FIGO 2 fibroids (p=0.002), and 57% had a higher number of cesarean sections (p=0.038). In addition, 61% of these women required a new approach (p<0.001), and 93% opted for treatment after myomectomy (p<0.001). Factors associated with a greater chance of women's symptoms not improving were having more than two cesarean sections (hazard ratio [HR]=3.52, p=0.026), FIGO 1 fibroids (HR=5.75, p=0.003), and FIGO 2-3 fibroids (HR=8.25, p=0.030).
conclusionHysteroscopic myomectomy has a low complication rate, and having fibroids with a larger intramural component is the main factor responsible for myomectomy failure.
