Fertility preservation in a large broad ligament leiomyoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUterine leiomyomas (uterine fibroids) are the most common tumors of the uterus. Extrauterine fibroids are rare, with the broad ligament being the most common location. Fibroids are usually asymptomatic. Some common symptoms include menstrual disturbances, a sensation of heaviness, and urinary issues. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27 year-old Syrian woman presented with lower abdominal pain that had persisted for a year. Her last delivery was 9 months prior. Ultrasound imaging revealed a 10 cm × 15 cm heterogeneous mass extending from the right iliac region to the umbilical region. The mass was surgically resected, with preservation of the uterus and adnexa. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis as leiomyoma with hyaline degeneration.
conclusionLeiomyomas, typically located in the uterus, can also occur in extrauterine locations such as the broad ligament. The diagnosis and management of extrauterine fibroids are challenging owing to their rarity and rich vascularity of the surrounding tissue, especially in patients wishing to preserve fertility.
