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
titleThe impact of contained power versus uncontained manual morcellation following laparoscopic myomectomy on operation time, pain perception, and bleeding. PURPOSE: Knowledge of contained power morcellation in relation to operation time, bleeding, and in-hospital-stay is sparse. Our study aimed to investigate how contained power versus uncontained manual morcellation following laparoscopic myomectomy influenced operation time and bleeding.
methodsWomen undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy at Odense University Hospital between September 2019 and September 2024 were included. Inclusion criteria were women ≥ 18 years undergoing a laparoscopic myomectomy. The size of the myomas, number of myomas, and demographics did not affect patient eligibility. Exclusion criteria were robot-assisted or open myomectomy, and malignancy.
resultsIn total, 116 women met inclusion criteria and underwent laparoscopic myomectomy. Of these, 74 (63.8%) underwent contained power morcellation and 42 (36.2%) uncontained manual morcellation. The operation time was 118.0 min (±54.07) in the contained group and 114.5 min (±32.53) in the uncontained manual group (p = 0.704). Perioperative bleeding was significantly lower in the contained power group versus the uncontained manual group (224.5 mL [±358.6] vs. 521.1 mL [±497.2], p = 0.0005). The length of hospitalization did not differ between contained power group and the uncontained manual group (0.57 days [±0.98] vs. 0.69 days [±0.68]; p = 0.473). One woman in the uncontained manual group had an intraabdominal abscess, and two women had intraabdominal bleeding, one in the uncontained manual group and one in the contained power group.
conclusionOur study demonstrated that contained power morcellation following myomectomy did not increase the operation time. The contained power morcellation was associated with lower perioperative bleeding; however, this finding should be interpreted cautiously because of the retrospective study design and potential residual confounding.
