1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The term smooth uterine muscle of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) indicates a group of uterine smooth muscle tumours that cannot be diagnosed unequivocally as malignant but does not fulfil the criteria for leiomyoma, or its variants. In this case, we present a woman treated for infertility who presented with an asymptomatic cervical mass, diagnosed as STUMP after three cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation. We reviewed the literature with particular emphasis on the effects of STUMP upon fertility, up-to-date guidance regarding the management of patients' wishing fertility-sparing approaches and obstetric outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of STUMP in a patient that has undergone multiple in vitro fertilization treatments as well as the first to provide a putative biological basis for the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, in this patient group.
