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

Parasitic myomas (PMs) are rare uterine leiomyomas that exist independently of the uterus. They can result from tissue fragments left behind during laparoscopic uterine procedures or, less commonly, develop spontaneously from pedunculated subserosal leiomyomas that detach and revascularize on extrauterine structures. We present a case of a 37-year-old woman with a history of pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma who presented in the emergency department with acute pelvic pain. Imaging revealed a large pelvic mass separated from the uterus and significant hemoperitoneum. Emergency laparotomy was performed, identifying a large left adnexal mass causing adnexal torsion, with partial pedicle rupture as the bleeding source. Histopathology confirmed a benign leiomyoma in the ovarian parenchyma. This case underscores the importance of considering PMs in the differential diagnosis of acute pelvic pain and provides more insight about the etiology of spontaneous PMs, which are rare entities.
