Long-term follow up of paraurethral leiomyoma: A case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundParaurethral fibroid is a rare condition. To date, there is no unified protocol to guide long-term follow up in this condition. This study reviewed case reports and summaries published in the last 10 years and focused on the management plans and follow up of patients with paraurethral fibroids. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who presented with urinary symptoms. Clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an approximately 3 × 3 cm mass which was considered as a paraurethral fibroid. Complete surgical excision was performed. The patient was discharged with no postoperative complications. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a benign leiomyoma.
conclusionsParaurethral fibroid is a rare condition which can be diagnosed with a high level of certainty based on clinical examination and imaging. A multidisciplinary team which includes experienced radiologists and urogynecologists or urologists who have the expertise to perform vaginal surgery with urethral reconstruction is essential for definitive management. Long-term follow up for expected possible complications is advisable. Further research with a larger number of cases is needed to recommend an evidence-based protocol for management of paraurethral fibroid.
