Missed Diagnosis of a Rare Retropatellar Juxta-Articular Angioleiomyoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Angioleiomyomas are benign tumors that originate from smooth muscle cells and most commonly affect organs such as the uterus or gastrointestinal tract. This article presents a case of a rarely reported angioleiomyoma located in the retropatellar juxta-articular region of the knee. The patient is a 42-year-old female who experienced chronic anterior knee pain that led to two unsuccessful arthroscopic surgeries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-defined lesion in the retropatellar area, prompting the decision to proceed with open surgery. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of angioleiomyoma. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing angioleiomyomas in the knee and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive MRI evaluation for accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention. Prompt identification and excision of the soft tissue lesion can lead to the complete resolution of symptoms and effective management of this rare condition.
