An Intraluminal Parasitic Leiomyoma of the Sigmoid Colon and Potential Pathogenetic Mechanisms.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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
Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumor of the female pelvis. Parasitic leiomyomas are an extremely rare entity of leiomyoma occurrence found at extrauterine sites. They are mostly diagnosed in patients with a history of gynecologic procedures and morcellators use during laparoscopic leiomyoma resection. Here we present an extraordinary case of an intraluminal leiomyoma of the sigmoid colon that was incidentally discovered during total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, performed due to leiomyomatous uterus in a female patient with no history of previous gynecologic operations. Potential pathogenetic mechanisms that can explain the co-occurrence of leiomyomas in the uterus and the sigmoid colon are also reviewed and include genetic predisposition, the stem cell theory of leiomyomas formation, and lymphatic and vascular spread.
