Systematic Review of Pregnancy After Myomectomy: The Risk of Uterine Rupture.
Review in Obstetrics and gynecology international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: A myoma is the most common pelvic mass in the urogenital tract and can cause various symptoms. Myomectomy is sometimes performed as treatment. A myomectomy prior to pregnancy can cause some risks or complications. The most feared complication is a uterine rupture, with an incidence of 0.60%-0.75% reported in the literature up to 2012. The aim of this study is to review recent literature on the risk of uterine rupture during labour following a myomectomy. Materials and Methods: To identify new insights, an extensive literature search was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. Articles published between 1 April 2013 and 31 October 2023 were included. The articles were screened for inclusion or exclusion by two reviewers. A total of 31 articles were included. Results: A total of 13,381 pregnant women with a history of myomectomy were included. The estimated overall risk of uterine rupture during pregnancy and labour was 0.30% (40/13.381; 95% CI: 0.21-0.41). Th included studies did not provide sufficient data to determine the specific risk of uterine rupture during a trial of labour after myomectomy (TOLAM). The risk of uterine rupture was significantly higher ( Conclusion: This systematic review found an incidence of uterine rupture during pregnancy and labour of 0.30% after a previous myomectomy. Entry into the uterine cavity during myomectomy appears to significantly increase the risk. Large, high-quality prospective studies are needed to confirm this finding and to identify additional risk factors.
