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

Leiomyomas are benign tumors of the female genital tract, usually arising from the uterus. Vaginal leiomyomas are extremely rare. We describe here a case of vaginal leiomyoma in a 28-year-old unmarried woman who presented with excessive vaginal bleeding and acute retention of urine. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) helped in diagnosing the vaginal origin of the mass. It was treated by complete excision through the vaginal route and repair of the vaginal defect. Injection adrenaline was used in 1:200000 dilution to identify the tumor extent and create an avascular plane for safe enucleation of the myoma. Post-surgery, the patient recovered well, with good healing of the vaginal wound and complete recovery from voiding difficulty. Histopathology was suggestive of benign vaginal leiomyoma. Thus though rare vaginal leiomyomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign vaginal tumors, they are best identified by imaging modalities like transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and MRI. Vaginal myomectomy with repair of the vaginal defect is the most prevalent and conventional method of treatment. The diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological examination of the excised tumor.
