Calcified deep somatic soft tissue leiomyoma of the leg: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Deep somatic soft tissue leiomyoma is a rare benign smooth muscle tumor, with around 60 cases reported thus far in the literature. Herein, we report a huge leiomyoma in deep somatic soft tissue with massive calcification in the peroneus longus muscle. A 29-year-old male patient presented with a hard, spindle-shaped, 15-cm-diameter mass of the left lower leg. Plain radiography showed marked calcification within the lesion, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-circumscribed lesion with strong contrast enhancement within the peroneus longus. A core needle biopsy was performed to rule out a soft tissue sarcoma, and deep somatic soft tissue leiomyoma was preoperatively diagnosed. A marginal excision was performed, and the patient recovered without event and has been recurrence-free for 16 months. As far as we know, the present soft tissue leiomyoma was one of the largest to be documented, the previously reported cases being up to 14 cm in maximum diameter. Leiomyomas of deep somatic soft tissue should be included in the differential diagnosis of a huge, deep-seated tumor with marked calcification as well as sarcomas, especially in younger patients.
