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

Uterine fibroids are common among women of reproductive age and often recur after treatment. Accurate recurrence prediction is essential for guiding clinical decisions, yet existing models remain inadequate. This study aimed to develop a nomogram based on Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression to estimate recurrence risk after myomectomy. We retrospectively analyzed data from 678 patients who underwent myomectomy, randomly dividing them into training and validation cohorts (7:3 ratio). LASSO regression was used to select relevant predictors, and a nomogram was constructed. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis. Six key predictors were identified: leiomyoma subclassification, fibroid diameter ≤ 4 cm, postoperative residual fibroids, postoperative pregnancy or childbirth, family history, and the number of fibroids detected via transvaginal ultrasound. The nomogram demonstrated strong discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. The proposed nomogram provides a reliable and practical tool for predicting fibroid recurrence, supporting personalized postoperative management and follow-up planning.
