Recurrent atypical leiomyoma in bladder trigone, confused with uterine fibroids: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTumors originating from the posterior bladder wall can be challenging to diagnose because they may mimic a mass from the uterine cervix. Atypical leiomyoma of the bladder trigone is extremely rare, with few reported cases, and requires caution during surgery to avoid damage to the adjacent ureter. Diagnostic surgery and confirmational pathology are essential to assess whether the tumor is malignant and relieve clinical symptoms. Herein, we describe a case of recurrent leiomyoma with focal atypia in the bladder trigone. CASE SUMMARY: A 29-year-old woman with a uterine fibroid incidentally found at a regular checkup was referred to our hospital. Based on magnetic resonance imaging, either urinary bladder leiomyoma or protrusion of pedunculated uterine cervical fibroid into the bladder was suspected. This leiomyoma in the trigone of the bladder was completely excised by laparotomy, and the patient was discharged without complication. Follow-up outpatient ultrasonography identified tumor recurrence after four years. As focal atypia was identified previously, laparotomy was performed to confirm the pathology. A round solid mass was resected from the posterior bladder wall without injuring either ureteric orifice. This tumor was pathologically diagnosed as a leiomyoma without atypia. Three-year follow-up ultrasonography has revealed no recurrence.
conclusionAtypical leiomyoma in bladder trigone is rare and could be easily mistaken for fibroid in the uterine cervix. To confirm histopathology, surgical excision is mandatory and regular follow-up is necessary to detect recurrence.
