1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour of the genital tract with a high incidence in women of reproductive age. The aim of our work is to understand which is the best management strategy for this condition, starting from the description of a rare case report up to the performance of a narrative review of the literature.

methodsWe report a case of a 46-year-old woman who came to our attention because of the growth of a 10-centimetre pedunculated, non-soft, non-tender mass of the left labium majus. She underwent surgical excision, and the histologic diagnosis was aggressive angiomyxoma. Due to a lack of tumour-free margins, radicalization surgery was carried out after three months. A review of the literature of the last ten years was performed following the PRISMA statement on MEDLINE (PubMed). We obtained data from twenty-five studies describing thirty-three cases.

resultsAggressive angiomyxoma is characterized by a high recurrence rate of between 36 and 72% after surgery. There is no universal consensus about hormonal therapy, and most studies (85%) describe surgical excision followed by only clinical and radiological follow-up.

conclusionWide surgical excision is the gold-standard treatment for aggressive angiomyxoma, succeeded by either clinical or radiological (ultrasound or MRI) follow-up.
