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

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) offers several distinct advantages, including an optimal cosmetic result, early resumption of flatus and a shorter hospital stay. This minimally invasive approach has been increasingly and widely adopted in diverse gynecologic procedures. In this review article, we provide detailed steps for performing myomectomy via vNOTES. In addition, we delve into several specific challenges that need to be addressed. It is suggested that surgeons consider incorporating this technique into their routine practice for the treatment of uterine myomas, as it has the potential to offer significant benefits to patients.
