Pregnancy outcomes following hysteroscopic resection of uterine septum: does the size matter? a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
objectiveThe benefits of surgical treatment of uterine septum malformation have recently been questioned. The aim of our study is to compare pregnancy outcomes following hysteroscopic resection of minor versus major septum.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single tertiary university-affiliated medical center. All women who underwent hysteroscopic resection of uterine septum followed by a documented pregnancy between March 2010 to March 2019, were included. The septum size was assessed by ultrasound or during operative hysteroscopy by the surgeons. Two groups were defined based on septum size: 1. minor (< 50% uterine cavity); 2. major (≥ 50% uterine cavity). Cases with additional uterine malformations were excluded from the study. Data were compared between the groups before and following septum resection. A univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.
resultsDuring the study period, 57 women met inclusion criteria, of these, 19 (33.3%) and 38 (66.7%) with minor and major septum, respectively. Baseline parameters were comparable between the groups. The rates of composite pregnancy complications before and following septum resection were also comparable between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis did not find septum size to be associated with pregnancy complications; however, comparing composite pregnancy complications prior and following septum resection revealed a trend of rate reduction in composite complications in the minor group (36.8% and 21.1% respectively) and a trend of increase in the major group (23.7% and 44.7% respectively).
conclusionsPregnancy outcomes following hysteroscopic resection of uterine septum were comparable between minor and major septum groups. Our results do not support septum removal to reduce pregnancy complications. However, due to the small sample size, further studies are required to strengthen our findings.
