Unusual Case of a Parasitic Extra-Uterine Leiomyoma Presenting With Lower Abdominal Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Parasitic fibroids are a rare type of extrauterine benign tumors that may be spontaneous or iatrogenic in origin and often difficult to diagnose due to their various presentations. We report an unusual case of a parasitic leiomyoma in a 33-year-old nulliparous woman with remote pelvic history who presented to our institution with sudden-onset lower abdominal pain. We performed an exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a 6.3x4.6 cm mass in the space of the adnexa of the right parametrium. Histopathological examination revealed features compatible with a leiomyoma. It is clear that physicians need to assess clinical findings and imaging techniques in order to establish a correct diagnosis of parasitic myomas, even when a history of myomectomy or a laparoscopic morcellation is absent.
