Surgical and Radiological Management of Complicated Uterine Leiomyoma Aided by 3D Models in a Patient with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2021. 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
BACKGROUND Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of the connective tissue. Over time, patients with FOP experience decreased range of motion in the joints and the formation of a second skeleton, limiting mobility. Patients with FOP are advised to avoid any unwarranted surgery owing to the risk of a heterotopic ossification flare-up. For patients who do require a surgical procedure, a multidisciplinary team is recommended for comprehensive management of the patient's needs. CASE REPORT A 27-year-old woman with FOP underwent a hysterectomy for removal of a suspected necrotic uterine fibroid. To aid in presurgical planning and management, patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D) models of the patient's tracheobronchial tree, thorax, and lumbosacral spine were printed from the patient's preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging. The patient required awake nasal fiberoptic intubation for general anesthesia and transversus abdominus plane block for regional anesthesia. Other anesthesia modalities, including spinal epidural, were ruled out after visualizing the patient's anatomy using the 3D model. Postoperatively, the patient was started on a multi-modal analgesic regimen and a course of steroids, and early ambulation was encouraged. CONCLUSIONS Patients with FOP are high-risk surgical patients requiring the care of multiple specialties. Advanced visualization methods, including 3D printing, can be used to better understand their anatomy and locations of heterotopic bone ossification that can affect patient positioning. Our patient successfully underwent supracervical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy with no signs of fever or sepsis at follow-up.
