Massive Leiomyomata and Severe Endometriosis Resulting in a Frozen Pelvis in an Asymptomatic Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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, also known as uterine fibroids, are the most common benign uterine tumors in women. The most frequently reported symptoms are uterine bleeding and abdominal and/or pelvic pressure; however, most cases are asymptomatic and may be found incidentally. Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrium proliferates outside of the uterine cavity. Extrauterine endometrial implants are usually found in the ovaries, pelvis, and peritoneum, but can extend anywhere throughout the body. Women with endometriosis may exhibit dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, and infertility. Inflammation caused by endometriosis may lead to fibrosis, scarring, and adhesions. We report a case of an asymptomatic 36-year-old African-American woman with increasing abdominal girth, consistent with a 28-week gestation, presenting to her obstetrician/gynecologist for her annual exam, who on further investigation is found to have multiple large fibroids, bilateral ovarian cysts, and widespread endometriosis with several adhesions ultimately leading to a frozen pelvis.
