1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present a step-by-step approach for hysteroscopic myomectomy in patients with submucosal fibroids, focusing on key surgical techniques that enhance safety, preserve uterine integrity, and ensure complete fibroid removal. A 49-year-old woman with heavy menstrual bleeding presented with a type I submucosal fibroid measuring 32 × 23 × 20 mm. The procedure was performed using a 27 Fr bipolar resectoscope. Intraoperative strategies include: minimal cervical dilation to reduce fluid leakage, continuous saline infusion with controlled suction for optimal visibility, avoidance of repeated scope removal to maintain intrauterine pressure and identification of myometrial margins to ensure complete resection and prevent perforation. This video highlights essential surgical techniques and intraoperative considerations for performing safe and effective hysteroscopic myomectomy. Attention to fluid management, visualization, and preservation of cervical and uterine integrity is critical for optimal outcomes, especially in women with prior uterine surgery or fertility concerns.
