Spontaneous Parasitic Pedunculated Myoma Presenting the Absence of Uterine Smooth Muscle Cells in the Stalk - A Case Report.

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 few cases of spontaneous parasitic myoma have been reported. However, its cause remains unidentified. We report a case of spontaneous parasitic pedunculated subserosal myoma with pathological findings presenting with the absence of uterine smooth muscle cells in the stalk observed during robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. A 51-year-old patient (G1P0) with no prior surgical history underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. An approximately 3 cm-pedunculated subserosal myoma was found attached to the retroperitoneum. The stalk was sealed and separated and the myoma with retroperitoneal adipose tissue was resected. The stalk was pathologically identified to lack uterine smooth muscle cells and contain only muscular arteries and fibrous connective tissues. Thus, it might be hypothesized that after the myoma received collateral parasitic blood flow from the attached retroperitoneum, the stalk degenerated, and uterine smooth muscle cells were lost through an unknown mechanism, possibly underlying the development of spontaneous parasitic myomas.
