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

Paraurethral leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare benign smooth muscle tumor adjacent to the female urethra, presenting diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms like urinary obstruction and dysuria. This case report details the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and surgical management of a 45-year-old woman with a paraurethral leiomyoma. Diagnosis involved clinical examination, imaging, and biopsy. The mass was excised via a perineal route without urethral injury, confirmed by histopathology. The patient recovered well, voiding without difficulty postoperatively. This case emphasizes the importance of thorough preoperative counseling, advanced imaging, and multidisciplinary collaboration in managing paraurethral leiomyomas.
