"Evolution" of intravascular leiomyomatosis.
Article in BMC women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIntravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare and specific type of smooth muscle tumor that is histologically benign but has a malignant biological behavior. It is commonly associated with a history of uterine leiomyomas. CASE PRESENTATION: A 36-year-old woman, G1P1, presented to the hospital with left lower abdominal pain for 2 months and she has accepted hysteroscopic myomectomy about 1 year ago. Ultrasound venography, echocardiography and computed tomography venography (CTV) of inferior vena cava were performed, which revealed IVL located in left intramural myometrium walls growing along the left ovarian vein reaching the level of the lumbar 5-sacral 1 disc. Laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomyis were scheduled. The IVL in the left ovarian vein and parauterine venous plexus were detected and excised completely during surgery. IVL was diagnosed by postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry. The patient recovered well after surgery. No surgical-related or anesthesia-related complications occurred.The 3-month follow-up CTV of inferior vena cava and echocardiography examination revealed normal.
conclusionsThe cause of IVL is unknown, this observation demonstrates that hysteroscopic myomectomy might lead to the occurrence of IVL.
