Angiomyolipoma of Uterine Cervix: Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Angiomyolipoma (AML) is classified as perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm (PEComas) and is commonly seen in the kidney. AML is a solid mesenchymal neoplasm rarely encountered at the extrarenal site. Extrarenal AML is infrequently seen in the female genital tract. Four cases of AML of the cervix have been reported in the literature to our knowledge. We report a case of a 44-year-old female patient who presented with complaints of "lower abdominal pressure" and a history of post-coital bleeding and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. A cyst in the uterine cervix was found incidentally on computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis. The patient underwent a loop electrosurgical excision procedure. The histologic and immunohistochemical features of the cervical biopsy favored the diagnosis of AML. The patient underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy. Grossly, a 4 cm white soft-to-firm mass was identified within the anterior lip of the cervix. Microscopy of the mass showed smooth muscle proliferation with prominent blood vessels, and scant mature adipose tissue trapped in between the smooth muscle bundles. Immunohistochemical stains showed smooth muscle actin (SMA) and desmin highlighting the smooth muscle component of AML. The histology and immunohistochemistry of the cervical mass in the surgical specimen were identical to the biopsy specimen and a diagnosis of AML was made.
