Fibroids and infertility.
Review in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2026. 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
The presence of uterine fibroids impacts fertility through multiple mechanisms. While subserosal fibroids have minimal impact, especially when of reduced size, the presence of intramural fibroids impacts both the likelihood of pregnancy and its outcomes. Submucosal fibroids significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy and increase pregnancy complications. While noninvasive techniques can treat fibroids and appear safe, surgical management of FIGO Type 0, 1, 2, and 3 fibroids remains the gold standard in women desiring pregnancy. Uterine artery embolization is not recommended. Where the ovaries are not visible due to the presence of large fibroids, assisted reproduction and transvaginal oocyte pick-up become a challenge and consideration for myomectomy should be given. A cesarean section should be performed for women where the uterine cavity has been opened at the time of myomectomy.
