Large incidental esophageal leiomyoma: Radiological findings.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. 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
Benign tumors of the esophagus are rare, the most common of them being leiomyomas. Malignant transformation is extremely rare, and they are often asymptomatic. Tumors larger than 5 cm frequently cause symptoms such as epigastric discomfort, heartburn, or dysphagia. We describe the case of a 57-year-old male with the presumptive diagnosis of esophageal leiomyoma, asymptomatic and incidentally discovered on a chest radiograph. The computerized tomography demonstrated an isodense and well-demarcated lesion from the esophagus, and the upper endoscopy confirmed an intact mucosa. The lesion has been stable for at least 6 years, and the patient remains asymptomatic.
