Peritoneal Leiomyoma in a Male Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Leiomyomas are smooth muscle tumors that are commonly present in premenopausal women. These tumors are benign and of monoclonal origin. Peritoneal cavity leiomyomas are commonly reported in females and rarely reported in males. Here, we present a 58-year-old male who presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed multiple well-circumscribed left lower quadrant mesenteric masses containing heterogeneous attenuation and macroscopic fat. Exploratory laparotomy performed following abdominal CT and subsequent CT-guided biopsy revealed two intra-abdominal masses. Histopathological evaluation was positive for desmin and caldesmon immunohistochemical stains, and negative for C-kit, consistent with benign leiomyomata. This case highlights a benign leiomyoma within the abdominal cavity, which is an extremely rare occurrence and a potentially rare cause of abdominal pain.
