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

backgroundUterine fibroids present significant obstetric challenges, particularly in late pregnancy. This study compared the outcomes of cesarean section combined with myomectomy (CS+M) versus cesarean section followed by elective myomectomy (CS) in managing fibroids during late pregnancy.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 243 pregnant women with uterine fibroids between September 2019 and September 2023. Participants were divided into two groups: 134 underwent CS followed by elective myomectomy, and 109 underwent combined CS+M. Perioperative outcomes, recovery indicators, rates of infection and complications, lactation status, neonatal Apgar scores, umbilical artery blood gas and blood lactate levels, postpartum depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores), perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores), and health-related quality of life (Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) scores) were compared between the two groups.

resultsCompared with the CS group, the CS+M group experienced significantly longer surgical duration (

conclusionCS+M, while advantageous for removing fibroids in a single procedure, is associated with increased perioperative risk, delayed recovery, higher complication rates, impaired lactation, and less favorable neonatal outcomes.
