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

Round ligament fibroids are rare, particularly in postmenopausal women, and can pose a diagnostic challenge due to their uncommon location and nonspecific presentation. We report the case of a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman in whom a right-sided round ligament fibroid was incidentally discovered during evaluation for rectal bleeding. CT angiography and MRI revealed a 3.5 cm lesion arising from the right round ligament; the patient had a history of hormone replacement therapy but no prior uterine fibroids. This case underscores the importance of including extrauterine fibroids in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses in postmenopausal women and highlights the value of MRI in accurately localizing and characterizing such lesions.
