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 smooth muscle tumours that may complicate pregnancy with pain and pressure symptoms. While conservative management is preferred due to the risk of haemorrhage and pregnancy loss, antepartum myomectomy may be indicated in selected cases with intractable symptoms. Case Presentation: We report 2 cases of successful antepartum myomectomy performed in the second trimester for severe, unrelenting pain secondary to large fibroids. The first case involved a 27-year-old primigravida at 15 + 2 weeks' gestation with a 22 × 16 × 17 cm pedunculated fibroid causing respiratory compromise. The second case involved a 41-year-old multigravida at 14 weeks' gestation with multiple fibroids, the largest measuring 19 × 21 cm. Both patients underwent open myomectomy following multidisciplinary evaluation and counselling. Estimated blood loss was minimal, and postoperative recovery was uneventful. Pregnancies progressed to term, resulting in favourable maternal and fotal outcomes. Conclusion: Antepartum myomectomy, though rarely indicated, can be safely performed in well-counselled, carefully selected patients with severe symptoms and favourable fibroid characteristics. Preoperative imaging, multidisciplinary planning and meticulous surgical technique are crucial for optimal outcomes.
