A comparative analysis of the impact of three distinct laparoscopic myomectomy techniques on ovarian reserve: a randomized clinical trial.

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
purposeLaparoscopic myomectomy is one of the preferred surgical treatments for symptomatic uterine fibroids. This study aimed to compare the effects of laparoscopic myomectomy with temporary uterine artery occlusion (TUAO), permanent uterine artery occlusion (PUAO), and vasopressin injection (VPI) on ovarian reserve in women with symptomatic uterine leiomyomas.
methodsThis randomized clinical trial (RCT) study was conducted on women with symptomatic uterine fibroids referred to Shahid Beheshti and Al-Zahra Hospitals in Isfahan, Iran, from January 2024 to July 2024. A total of 54 women were included, with 18 women in each group. The women were randomly grouped based on the used techniques of TUAO, PUAO, and VPI. Moreover, ovarian reserve marker, including anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level, were measured before and after surgery. This parameter was evaluated 3 months after surgery for all patients. Also, the amount of hemoglobin was measured before and after 24 h after surgery for participants in each method.
resultsTUAO, PUAO and VPI laparoscopic myomectomy techniques had almost similar effects on ovarian reserve. The AMH level before the surgery in TUAO, PUAO, and VPI groups was reported as 3.87 ng/mL, 3.42 ng/mL, and 3.57 ng/mL, respectively. The AMH level (3 month) after the surgery was 3.78 ng/mL, 3.34 ng/mL and 3.48 ng/mL, respectively. No significant difference was reported between AMH levels among the methods before and after the surgery (P = 0.27, P = 0.12, and P = 0.29, respectively). The Hb level before the surgery in TUAO, PUAO, VPI was 11.23 g/dL, 11.55 g/dL and 11.67 g/dL, respectively. The Hb level after the surgery (24 h) was reported as 10.95 g/dL, 11.31 g/dL and 11.25 g/dL, respectively. No significant difference was reported between Hb levels among the methods before and after the surgery (P = 0.36, P = 0.31, and P = 0.13, respectively).
conclusionAs the choice of technique may depend on the factors such as surgeon preference and patient-specific factors, findings of this study have important implications for women undergoing LM and also highlight the need for further studies on the long-term effects of these techniques on ovarian reserve with larger sample sizes.
