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

Superficial myofibroblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor which predominantly occurs in the female lower genital tract. Here we present a case of a 42-year-old female patient with prolonged vaginal bleeding. Radiological imaging revealed a well circumscribed mass in the vagina with a stalk. The patient underwent surgery and the tumor was histologically diagnosed as superficial myofibroblastoma. Notably, this is the first report of the radiological imaging of a superficial myofibroblastoma harboring a stalk arising from the vaginal wall. We compared the radiological images with histological findings and discuss major differential diagnosis of vaginal tumors. Despite the challenging nature of preoperative diagnosis of mesenchymal vaginal tumors, radiological features may aid in differentiating them from other more aggressive entities or malignant tumors.
