Sigmoid Leiomyoma: An Uncommon Occurrence.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Leiomyomas in the colon are uncommon accounting for a few cases of gastrointestinal smooth muscle tumors. These tumors are usually benign and asymptomatic. They may present with abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, perforation, and rarely hemorrhagic, especially when the tumor is large. We present the case of a sigmoid leiomyoma in a 60-year-old patient consulting for a positive fecal occult blood test. Colonic leiomyomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a polyp is found during routine endoscopic evaluations. This case also highlights the limitations of diagnosing the nature of polyps using endoscopy alone.
