Abstract

I really appreciate the evidence from the article “Feasibility and safety of performing caesarean myomectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis” published by Huang et al. [1] (The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1080/14767058. 2020.1791816) with great enthusiasm. I congratulate the authors for concluding that Cesarean Myomectomy (CM) can be preferred over Cesarean section (CS) alone in the hands of expert surgeon and with good haemostasis techniques. I have some concerns with regard to methodology adopted by the authors

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a meta-analysis. Its evidence level is 1 of 5 (Highest · pooled evidence). Pooled evidence from several studies sits at the top of the evidence pyramid.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
