Recurrent multifocal adult rhabdomyoma in an elderly woman diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome: A case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) is a rare inherited autosomal dominant condition caused by a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene FLCN. This mutation predisposes the carrier to multiple pulmonary cysts, recurrent pneumothorax, renal tumors and benign skin tumors. Since the first description of BHD, additional clinical signs have been added to the syndrome and a large variety of benign tumors, such as rhabdomyomas (RM), have been linked with the FLCN gene mutation. RMs are rare tumors derived from striated muscle. The adult extracardiac rhabdomyoma occurs mostly in elderly patients, with a male predominance. It is most often located in the head and neck area and it has a potential of recurrence. We report a case of recurrent multifocal ARM in the oral cavity, present in an elderly woman with BHD and treated surgically. This could add support to RMs being linked to BHD.
