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

Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) is a rare uterine tumor with unique clinical and histological features. We present a case of a 46-year-old woman with a 3-month history of left-flank pain radiating to the back. The patient had a history of infertility and a previous miscarriage. Ultrasound revealed a solid tissue mass suggestive of a degenerated fibroid. Laparoscopy identified subserosal leiomyoma and leiomyoma in the broad ligament. Histologically, CDL is characterized by disorganized smooth muscle with hyaline degeneration and no evidence of malignancy. Clinically, CDL can present with a variety of symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. The coexistence of CDL and adenomyosis is exceedingly rare. This case highlights the importance of considering CDL in the differential diagnosis of pelvic mass, malignant neoplasms, and infertility, even with atypical symptoms. It also emphasizes the value of cooperation between clinicians and pathologists for accurate diagnosis and management of CDL. Adenomyosis in this case further complicated the diagnosis and highlighted the need for an index of suspicion for this rare condition.
