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

Broad ligament leiomyomas are rare tumors present outside the uterine body. The incidence of giant broad ligament leiomyomas (weighing over 3 kg) remains relatively rare. In this report, we present the case of a peri-menopausal woman who came in with a large abdominal mass. She was provisionally diagnosed with a right ovarian mass and planned for an exploratory laparotomy. During the procedure, a large tumor originating from the right broad ligament was seen. The tumor was occupying almost the whole of the abdominal cavity, and we faced lots of challenges to resect it without damaging the ureter and the bowel loops. This case report highlights the difficulty of diagnosing a giant broad ligament fibroid pre-operatively. It also emphasizes the intra-operative challenges faced during the management of this extremely rare condition.
