Metastatic Smooth Muscle Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential after Laparoscopic Presuming Myomectomy.
Article in Gynecology and minimally invasive therapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 38-year-old para-2 female underwent laparoscopic myomectomy with uncontained morcellation. Three years later, she complained of epigastric pain. An intraperitoneal 3 cm mass beneath the umbilicus was showed on computed tomography (CT) scan. With the impression of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, she underwent open laparotomy at the general surgery department. A tumor was excised. Pathological examination showed that the tumor was consistent with a smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant (STUMP). Six years postlaparoscopic myomectomy, during a regular follow-up, three parauterine masses were found on ultrasonography and CT scan. She underwent laparoscopic surgery for hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and excision of the masses. The masses were again diagnosed as STUMP. This case presents a recurrence of a rare type of smooth muscle tumor after uncontained morcellation. If myomas are to be removed with morcellation, it should only be used appropriately with a compatible containment system, and the risk of occult malignancy should be counseled.
