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

backroundLipoleiomyomas are rare, benign tumors combining smooth muscle and adipose tissue, most commonly found in the uterus. CASE SUMMARY: A 61-year-old woman with a history of surgical treatment of uterine leiomyoma presented with syncopal episodes. Echocardiography revealed masses in the right atrium that led to urgent partial resection of a 10-cm tumor originating from the iliac veins. Three years later, recurrence was detected, extending from the iliac vessels to the atrium. This required complex thoracoabdominal surgery with an R1/2 resection, indicating a high likelihood of tumor recurrence. Pathologic examination confirmed an angioleiomyomatous tumor. Given its hormone receptor positivity, adjunctive letrozole therapy was initiated. Follow-up scans showed tumor regression, and the patient remains asymptomatic. DISCUSSION: For hormone receptor-positive cases, aromatase inhibitors may offer a viable option for managing recurrent tumors when complete resection is unachievable. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for intravenous leiomyomas with cardiac involvement.
