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

This case reports a 44-year-old female who presented to the gynecologic oncology clinic status post robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy with intraperitoneal unprotected power morcellation in 2012, with an incidental finding of three conglomerate solid masses in the abdomen above the uterus, with each mass measuring approximately 15.5 cm. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy where multiple masses greater than 10 cm were found scattered throughout the abdominal cavity. The masses were resected, and the patient underwent an appendectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, as well as a total abdominal hysterectomy and small bowel resection. Pathology reports revealed benign leiomyomas. The patient's presentation was consistent with disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis in the setting of previous myomectomy with the use of power morcellation. Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is exceedingly rare, and upon encountering this case, further research was conducted to explore the complications associated with the use of power morcellators in gynecological procedures.
