Extrapolated data from the Cochrane review of women undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy prior to assisted reproduction did not find a significant reduction in miscarriage rates compared with expectant management (OR 1.54, 95% CI 0.47-5.00; P = 0.47, 94 women; very low quality evidence).
“However, extrapolated data from the Cochrane review of women undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy prior to assisted reproduction did not find a significant reduction in miscarriage rates compared with expectant management (OR 1.54, 95% CI 0.47-5.00;P = 0.47, 94 women; very lowquality evidence).190”
From Recurrent MiscarriageGreen‐top Guideline No. 17 (2023) · cites this paper as [190]
The review’s “Adverse events: miscarriage” section reports the stated odds ratio, confidence interval, P value and sample size, and finds insufficient evidence of a difference from expectant management. Its “Quality of the evidence” section grades the myomectomy trial as very low quality. However, the reported comparison concerns women with otherwise unexplained subfertility and a submucous fibroid; the review does not describe these 94 women as undergoing myomectomy prior to assisted reproduction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
