Port-site implantation of parasitic leiomyoma after laparoscopic myomectomy and its histopathology.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Although parasitic leiomyoma could be spontaneous or iatrogenic in origin, port-site implantation of parasitic leiomyoma is an iatrogenic benign sequela of laparoscopic surgery. A 30-year-old, primigravida Japanese woman was referred after unresponsiveness to preoperative gonadotropin-releasing hormone for intramural fibroids. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple intramural fibroids and left ovarian endometrioma with no malignant features. Laparoscopic myomectomy with power morcellation and ovarian cystectomy were performed, followed by treatment with a combined oral contraceptive. Seven years after the primary surgery, she underwent abdominal myomectomy for a port-site, and peritoneal recurrence of the leiomyoma and intramural leiomyomas was detected. Microscopic examination revealed that resected specimens from the port-site demonstrated leiomyoma with lesser cell density and more prominent hyalinization than those from the uterus. Therefore, clinicians should counsel patients regarding the risks and benefits of laparoscopy with morcellation versus laparotomy. Further development of techniques for uterine tissues extraction is warranted.
