Comparative outcomes of robotic, laparoscopic, and open hysterectomy for complex hysterectomy: a retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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: The optimal surgical approach for hysterectomy in patients with complex large uteri remains controversial, particularly in those with uterine enlargement and obesity. This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes and complication rates among three surgical techniques-open abdominal hysterectomy (LH), traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), and Da Vinci robot-assisted hysterectomy (DV-RH)-to provide evidence for individualized surgical decision-making. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 444 patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign gynecological diseases between April 2021 and April 2024 at the Ningxia Medical University General Hospital.Patients were divided into LH ( Results: There were no significant differences in age, BMI, comorbidities, or surgical history among the groups. DV-RH showed significantly lower blood loss ( Conclusion: DV-RH offers superior perioperative outcomes in complex and large uterus cases but incurs higher costs. TLH remains a cost-effective alternative in appropriate patients. Surgical decisions should be based on patient characteristics, technical complexity, and institutional resources.
