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
introductionMinimally-invasive, organ-preserving techniques for uterine fibroid management have gained popularity. This study assesses the safety and effectiveness of combining transcervical fibroid ablation (TFA) with operative hysteroscopy (HSC).
aimWe aimed to evaluate whether a combined approach that involves performing TFA and operative HSC during a single session increased the intra- and postoperative risks. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 200 women were included in this retrospective study. They were divided into 2 groups: 100 underwent combined TFA and operative HSC (group 1), and 100 underwent HSC alone (group 2). Surgical procedures included fibroid / polyp resection, endometrial ablation, and septum dissection. Outcomes assessed comprised intra- and postoperative complications and symptom improvement.
resultComplication rates were low and comparable in both groups. Among the patients in group 1 with available follow-up (n = 60), 83.3% reported improvement in bleeding symptoms, particularly those treated with TFA combined with myomectomy (84%). The combined approach enabled treatment of a broader range of fibroid types (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics score 0-6) and intrauterine pathologies in a single session. No severe or life-threatening complications were observed. The risk of bleeding during fibroid resection was reduced when the resection was preceded by TFA (
conclusionCombining TFA and HSC appears to be a safe, effective, and versatile approach for treating uterine fibroids and intrauterine pathologies. It offers procedural efficiency, broadens treatment eligibility, and may reduce the need for reintervention.
