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

Background: Intravascular leiomyomatosis (IVL) is often a non-malignant condition that grows inside the blood vessels and does not invade surrounding tissues. However, its presence within the blood vessels can lead to obstructions. The majority of IVL cases manifest symptoms related to blockage. Case presentation: We present a case of a 50-year-old female patient who was referred to our institution due to the presence of a common non-cancerous tumor in the uterus, known as a benign uterine leiomyoma. The tumor was identified during an ultrasound examination during a routine physical examination. Postoperative pathology established the existence of intrapelvic IVL. Conclusion: Intrapelvic IVL often not present with complications when it is confined to the pelvic cavity. Furthermore, the imaging features of intrapelvic IVL resemble those of typical benign uterine leiomyomas. This can often result in the clinical misdiagnosis of the tumor as a typical benign uterine leiomyoma.
