Application value of laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery during the second and third trimesters complicated with gynecological pelvic mass.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aim of the present retrospective cohort study was to compare the clinical characteristics, perioperative outcomes and pregnancy outcomes of laparo-endoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery, conventional laparoscopy (CL) surgery and transabdominal (TA) surgery for managing gynecological pelvic masses (GPMs) during the second (14–28 weeks) and third (> 28 weeks) trimesters. The study comprised patients who underwent surgical intervention (LESS, CL or TA surgery) for GPMs at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shannan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, between June 2018 and June 2023.

interventionsLESS, CL, or TA.
resultsAmong the 59 patients (gestational age: 13–29 weeks, including one case of twin pregnancy), 16 underwent LESS surgery, 25 underwent CL surgery, and 18 underwent TA surgery. Compared to the TA group, the laparoscopic group (LESS and CL surgeries) had shorter operative times and bed rest durations, lower inflammatory markers, and a reduced length of hospital stay post-operation. The LESS surgery group was noted to have lower VAS pain scores and lower SCAR scores at one month post-surgery compared with the CL group. However, there were no statistically significant differences in infant growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes at one year of age among the three groups.
conclusionsThe present study has shown that LESS surgery presents a safe and effective alternative for managing GPMs during the second and third trimesters, offering advantages in terms of postoperative recovery and scar appearance.
