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

backgroundUterine cystic adenomyosis is a rare form of focal adenomyosis that is primarily located within the myometrium. In this case report, we present a unique case of adult uterine cystic adenomyosis found outside the uterus following laparoscopic myomectomy. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 36-year-old Chinese woman who had previously undergone laparoscopic surgery at our hospital to remove a 4 cm diameter diameter uterine fibroid six years prior. She returned to our hospital due to excessive menstruation and intermittent right lower abdominal pain for one year. Pelvic computed tomography revealed an endometriotic cyst on the right posterior side of the uterus seemingly connected to the uterine cavity. During surgery, we successfully removed a large well-defined cyst filled with typical chocolate-like fluid located outside the uterus with its root deeply embedded in the myometrium. Following surgery, we administered gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs for six cycles without any observed recurrence.

conclusionThis study describes an unusual occurrence of large adult uterine cystic adenomyosis located outside the uterus after laparoscopic myomectomy, potentially supporting the theory that endometrial injury invagination may be responsible for this condition.
