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 and Objectives: The benefits of minimally invasive hysterectomy are widely recognized. However, laparoscopic hysterectomy is more technically difficult in patients with enlarged uteri. In this study, we sought to compare surgical outcomes for patients with large uteri (greater than 1 kg) undergoing laparoscopic versus open hysterectomy. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study performed at a tertiary-care academic center, including all patients who underwent laparoscopic or open hysterectomy for a benign indication between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2024. The primary outcome was a composite measure of intraoperative and postoperative complications, readmissions, and reoperations. Results: A total of 509 patients underwent hysterectomy for uteri larger than 1 kg: 268 via laparotomy and 241 via laparoscopy. After controlling for confounding variables, the risk of any complication, readmission or reoperation was similar in the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups (OR 1.09 [0.68-1.77], Discussion: Our results suggest that laparoscopic hysterectomy is feasible even for patients with uterine weight exceeding 1 kg. While operative time was longer in the laparoscopy group, this increase in operative time was not associated with an increase in perioperative complications.
