Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata with low-grade malignant change: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundLeiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare disease characterized by multiple leiomyomas spread all over the peritoneal cavity. It is commonly described as benign in women of reproductive age. Malignant LPD is much rarer.
methodsWe present a case of LPD with low potential malignant change in a 43-year-old female, who felt a lump in her abdomen after laparoscopic myomectomy 10 years ago and laparoscopic hysterectomy 8 years ago. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and salpingectomy, greater omentectomy, and pelvic and abdominal mass resection were performed during the surgery. The pathological findings revealed LPD with low potential malignant change, with strong expression of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor. The patient refused oophorectomy and chose gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists injection postoperatively.
resultsNo recurrence was found during the follow-up to date.
conclusionSurgery is the main treatment for LPD, and endocrine therapy is another choice. Although it is reported mostly benign, we need to be alert to the possibility of malignancy.
