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

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome involves complete or partial agenesis of the female reproductive tract, leading to impaired menstruation and reproduction, or even clinical symptoms in certain cases. The absence of an anatomically intact reproductive tract usually misleads clinicians to ignore the possibility that common gynecological conditions may develop in MRKH patients, which is a rare but plausible scenario. In the present report, we present the rare case of a 49-year-old MRKH patient with uterine fibroid developing from rudimentary uterine tissue, one of only a few similar instances reported in medical literature. The patient, scheduled to undergo oophorectomy due to a suspicious ovarian cyst and being perimenopausal, decided to undergo total laparoscopic en bloc excision of the ovaries, salpinges, uterine rudiments, fibroid, and ovarian cyst. The surgery was successful and the patient made a swift, uneventful recovery. This report adds to the limited knowledge of benign mesenchymal tumors arising from mere remnants of myometrium and affirms the need for vigilance during the care of MRKH patients.
