Successful laparoscopic management of acute abdominal pain due to spontaneous rupture of subserosal vessels overlying a uterine fibroid: a case report and surgical video.

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
backgroundAcute abdomen comprises several emergencies. Hemoperitoneum associated with uterine fibroids, which can present as acute abdominal pain, is rare and difficult to diagnose. Especially, spontaneous hemorrhage from the rupture of the superficial vessels overlying a uterine fibroid is extremely rare, and its diagnosis and management have not been established. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 55-year-old woman who presented at our hospital with acute abdomen. After performing a computed tomography scan, we conducted a laparoscopic examination and diagnosed hemoperitoneum of ambiguous origin. We treated the patient surgically, performing a laparoscopic myomectomy to remove the origin of the hemorrhage. The patient recovered well.
conclusionsWe report a case of hemoperitoneum of ambiguous origin that was diagnosed laparoscopically and treated by laparoscopic myomectomy to remove the origin of the hemorrhage. Surgeons should rapidly diagnose and manage acute abdominal pain in women with a history of uterine fibroids to prevent severe morbidity or even mortality. Therefore, laparoscopic surgery is recommended in patients with stable hemodynamics.
