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

While very commonly encountered in the uterus, in particular in the wall of the uterine corpus, leiomyomas are far less frequently found in extragenital sites in females. Atypical leiomyomas (synonyms: pleomorphic leiomyomas, leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei, bizarre leiomyomas, or symplastic leiomyomas) are a rare subtype of leiomyomas, characterized by cells with bizarre, pleomorphic-appearing nuclei without (or with extremely low) associated mitotic activity. Despite the cytologic appearance, such tumors have a benign clinical course. Although there are cases of leiomyomas appearing outside the uterus in a background of endometriosis, cases specifically of atypical leiomyomas in this setting are exceptionally rare. We present a case of an atypical leiomyoma arising from pararectal endometriosis in a patient presenting with endometriosis-associated primary ovarian clear cell carcinoma, metastasis to the bladder peritoneum, and a peri-intestinal lymph node, in addition to a concurrent ovarian fibroma.
