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

backgroundMyomatous erythrocytosis syndrome is an uncommon paraneoplastic syndrome of erythrocytosis associated with benign uterine leiomyomas. Fewer than 70 cases have been reported globally, and clinical awareness remains limited. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 45-year-old Middle Eastern premenopausal woman who presented with a several-month history of abdominal distension and a hemoglobin level of 22.5 g/dL. Imaging revealed a massive subserosal uterine leiomyoma (190 × 181 × 115 mm). Following total abdominal hysterectomy with left salpingo-oophorectomy, her hemoglobin level normalized to 15 g/dL within days. Histopathological analysis revealed no evidence of malignancy, consistent with a diagnosis of myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome.

conclusionMyomatous erythrocytosis syndrome should be considered in women presenting with unexplained erythrocytosis and large uterine leiomyomas. Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention can result in hematologic normalization and help prevent life-threatening thromboembolic complications.
