Transvesical laparoscopy for bladder leiomyoma excision: a novel surgical technique.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introduction and hypothesisLeiomyomas of the urinary bladder are rare tumors. Submucosal leiomyomas, when small and easily accessible, can be treated with transurethral resection, while unfavorably positioned or larger leiomyomas may be treated through an abdominal approach. In these cases, a laparoscopic approach for intravesical surgery is an alternative that may be considered. We aim to demonstrate a novel transvesical laparoscopic approach to bladder leiomyoma excision with a video.
methodsA 45-year-old woman with urinary symptoms and a 40-mm submucosal bladder leiomyoma located at the interureteric ridge was referred to our hospital (tertiary referral hospital). Due to the location and size of the leiomyoma, and to increase the probability of complete resection, a transvesical laparoscopic approach was decided. A step-by-step video is presented to describe the surgical technique.
resultsThere were no intra- or postoperative complications. The patient was discharged 48 h after the surgery. At 60 months' follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic.
conclusionsTransvesical laparoscopy may be considered for excision of bladder leiomyomas. This approach is feasible for trained surgeons as it requires a small working space.
