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

Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that accounts for almost 2-5% of all uterine malignancies. It has the highest prevalence during pre and perimenopause. Further, it clinically resembles benign conditions like leiomyoma, and the diagnosis is confirmed with the histologic findings of the mass. Here, we present the case of a 70-year-old female who presented with lower abdominal pain for two years. Exploratory laparotomy with hysterectomy was performed, and the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was confirmed after histological examination of the resected tumor.
