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

Vulvar angiomyxomas are rare benign mesenchymal neoplasms. Superficial and Aggressive angiomyxomas are two distinct phenotypes that present similarly to other more common vulva-perineal pathologies. Albeit both angiomyxomas carry a risk of recurrence, especially in the setting of incomplete resection, simple excision is insufficient for Aggressive angiomyxoma. It requires wide local excision because of its unique potential for local invasion, infiltration of the paravaginal and pararectal tissue, and more distant metastasis. Here, we present a case of Superficial angiomyxoma and a case of Aggressive angiomyxoma to highlight the diagnostic challenges and management strategies of each tumor. In both cases, angiomyxomas were initially misdiagnosed because of their rarity and nonspecific presentation. Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice for evaluation due to inherent higher spatial resolution of soft tissue anatomical details. Early diagnosis of Aggressive angiomyxoma can prevent incomplete excision and recurrence, spare additional surgery, and offer hormonal therapy options.
