Impact of Preoperative Uterine Volume on Symptom Recurrence Following Vaginal Hysterectomy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. 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
Background: Vaginal hysterectomy (VH) is the preferred minimally invasive technique for benign uterine conditions, such as uterine prolapse, due to its association with faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications compared to abdominal or laparoscopic approaches. Uterine volume is often considered a factor influencing surgical feasibility and potential complications. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included all women who underwent VH at our institute between January 2010 and December 2016, and validated patient-reported outcome measures to identify the relationship between uterus volume and the recurrence of symptoms. Results: One hundred thirty-three patients were included, of whom 65 had a uterine volume greater than 22.5 cm Conclusion: Increased uterine volume is significantly linked to higher postoperative scores on validated patient-reported outcome measures (PFDI-20 and POPDI-6), suggesting a potential impact on quality of life after surgery. These findings contribute to the ongoing discussion surrounding optimal patient selection for VH.
