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

Objective: This prospective study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions on postoperative pelvic floor symptoms, pelvic floor structure, and pelvic floor muscle function. Study Design: The study was conducted at Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University, from May 2022 to September 2023. Patients who underwent elective single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions were recruited. Paired Results: A total of 71 participants were included, with 69 patients successfully followed up. There was a significant improvement in pelvic floor function postoperatively ( Conclusions: Within 6 months post-hysterectomy, Pelvic Floor Disorders Impact Questionnaire-20 (PFDI-20) scores significantly improved, and FSFI scores significantly decreased postoperatively. Single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy did not significantly affect pelvic floor structure or muscle function in the short-term postoperative period. However, overall sexual function decreased within the same timeframe.
