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
Torsion of pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma of the uterus is a rare cause of acute abdomen. A 27-year-old female patient with twisted subserosal pedunculated uterine leiomyoma misdiagnosed as an adnexal mass underwent laparotomy. The patient came to the Emergency Department of General Hospital of Trikala with symptoms of acute abdomen. Primarily, clinical-laboratory examination, transabdominal ultrasound, raised the suspicion of a twisted adnexal mass. Intraoperatively, a twisted pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma of the uterus was identified and myomectomy was performed. Histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis. On the third postoperative day, our patient was discharged. This paper underscores the rarity of torsion of the uterine pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma and emphasizes the necessity of urgent surgical intervention. The challenges of preoperative diagnosis are highlighted, especially when modern diagnostic imaging modalities are unavailable.
