A Case of Parasitic Leiomyoma After Laparoscopic Myomectomy With Power Morcellator.

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
As the growth of morcellated leiomyoma fragments is slow, iatrogenic parasitic leiomyomas are recognized as late complications of laparoscopic myomectomies. We present a case of parasitic leiomyoma diagnosed several years following laparoscopic myomectomy using a power morcellator. A 48-year-old Japanese woman presented with a pelvic mass. At 36 years old, she underwent laparotomic myomectomy using a power morcellator for uterine leiomyomas. Twelve years after the initial laparoscopic myomectomy, multiple subserous leiomyomas were detected. She was treated by open surgery. A solid tumor was found in the pouch of Douglas, which was firmly adhered to surrounding tissues. It was diagnosed as a parasitic leiomyoma. Gynecologists should be aware of the risk of iatrogenic parasitic leiomyoma development as a late complication of laparoscopic myomectomy using a power morcellator. Moreover, patients should be followed up at least until menopause.
