Fibroids and pregnancy.
Review in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The prevalence of uterine fibroids in pregnancy varies between 1.6% and 10.7%. Pregnancies involving uterine fibroids are generally uncomplicated. However, complications can occur, particularly in cases of multiple fibroids, when the fibroids are larger than 5 cm, or when they are located in the lower uterine segment. Between 10% and 30% of pregnant women with fibroids experience complications during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. The most common complication during pregnancy, which can occur in 8% of women, is red degeneration. High-quality data on the relationship between fibroids and pregnancy outcome are very limited. Potential obstetric complications include preterm birth (increased risk, OR 1.5; 95% CI, 1.3-1.7), malpresentation of the baby (OR 2.65; 95% CI, 1.60-3.70), placental abruption (OR 2.63; 95% CI, 1.38-3.88), placenta previa (OR 2.21; 95% CI, 1.48-2.94), cesarean birth (OR 2.60; 95% CI, 2.02-3.18), postpartum hemorrhage (OR 2.95; 95% CI, 1.86-4.66), and other rare occurrences. Most women with uterine fibroids are able to deliver vaginally without complications. Cesarean birth is typically performed for standard obstetric indications. It is recommended that cesarean myomectomy should be avoided when possible.
