A sporadic diffuse multiple cutaneous leiomyomatosis mimicking plexiform neurofibromatosis: A surgical challenge.

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
A 32-year-old male presented with diffuse plaques accompanied by multiple large, painful swellings predominantly distributed over the trunk, face and both upper and lower extremities for 11 years. There was no family history of similar complaints. The histopathological examination (HPE), supplemented with special stains confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous leiomyoma (CL). The immunohistochemical analysis showed a strong expression of smooth muscle actin. The final diagnosis of sporadic diffuse multiple cutaneous leiomyomatosis was made. This presentation of CL is uncommon and resembled plexiform neurofibroma. The clinical diagnosis of this presentation was challenging. Therefore, HPE combined with special stains aided in confirming this surgically challenging rare tumour. In resource-poor settings regular screening is required for early detection of renal cancer and other associated complications.
