Incidental Discovery of a Urethral Leiomyoma: A Rare Case of an Asymptomatic Benign Tumor With Successful Surgical Management.

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
Urethral leiomyomas are uncommon benign tumors arising from urethral smooth muscle. These tumors predominantly occur in women of reproductive age and are frequently asymptomatic or incidentally detected. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with a small, symptomless mass near the urethral meatus. MRI identified a 1.7 × 1.4 cm lesion in the distal urethra, and subsequent cystoscopy-guided surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis of urethral leiomyoma. The patient recovered well postoperatively, and histopathological examination verified complete tumor removal. Given the low recurrence risk after excision, surgical resection remains the treatment of choice. This case emphasizes the importance of including urethral leiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of urethral masses and demonstrates the utility of MRI and surgical intervention in effective management.
