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

Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare finding of histologically benign smooth muscle tumors in extrauterine locations, most commonly the lungs. We report a case of BML found incidentally on pre-operative imaging in a 42-year-old patient. BML is found in premenopausal women with a history of leiomyoma and, often, hysterectomy. As in our case, the metastatic pulmonary nodules are not hypermetabolic on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron emission tomography/computed tomography. BML may be clinically malignant or asymptomatic. Since the imaging appearance of BML simulates metastatic disease of more malignant etiology, awareness of its multimodality imaging appearance and presentation can aid in diagnosis.
