Effect of barbed suture vs. conventional suture on postoperative recovery and uterine integrity in patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women, and laparoscopic surgery is one of the main treatment methods. The choice of suturing technique can influence postoperative recovery and uterine integrity. Methods: This retrospective study included 210 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy, divided into a barbed suture group ( Results: The barbed suture group showed significantly better postoperative recovery and uterine integrity indicators compared to the conventional suture group ( Conclusion: Barbed suturing is superior to conventional suturing in laparoscopic myomectomy, effectively promoting postoperative recovery, improving uterine integrity, and enhancing long-term quality of life. Its benefits are more pronounced in patients without a history of abortion and without fibroid degeneration. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate these findings and explore underlying mechanisms.
