An Unusual Diagnosis of Rectosigmoid Leiomyoma in an Adult: A Rare 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
Leiomyomas are uncommon tumors of the gastrointestinal system, representing around 0.03% to 0.05% of all rectal tumors. They tend to have a benign biological behavior and are mostly asymptomatic. When leiomyomas are large in size, they can cause symptoms and complications, including abdominal pain, perforation, intestinal obstruction, and bleeding. We herein present a case of a 57-year-old male patient presenting for colonoscopic evaluation following a positive screening with a fecal occult blood test. The patient was found to have a 10 mm pedunculated polyp at the level of the recto-sigmoid junction, which was removed by hot snare polypectomy and was found to have spindle cells that were positive for desmin, consistent with the rare diagnosis of recto-sigmoid leiomyoma. That being said, this case evokes a rare entity that endoscopists should keep in mind when approaching a recto-colonic polyp.
