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

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is a benign condition characterized by multiple extrauterine leiomyomas in various locations such as the peritoneum, mesentery, abdominal wall, and pelvis. This is typically observed following laparoscopic myomectomy and is an extremely rare disease, with only a limited number of cases reported thus far. It primarily affects women in their reproductive age group and is believed to be associated with ovarian secretions. Leiomyomas are monoclonal smooth muscle tumors with characteristics similar to muscle on computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging. The presence of multiple nodules dispersed throughout the peritoneal cavity may resemble malignancy. There is no conventional treatment guideline, and the approach depends on the patient's age, symptoms, fertility requirements, and previous treatment. The treatment modalities can be surgical, hormonal, or combined. The presented case involves a 40-year-old woman who developed disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis after undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy.
