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

Fallopian tube leiomyomas are exceptionally rare parasitic tumours, usually identified incidentally during laparoscopic or open surgery. This report describes a 30-year-old woman who presented in 2025 to Al Emadi Hospital in Doha, Qatar with chronic pelvic pain and acute exacerbations. The diagnosis of fallopian tube leiomyoma was made through preoperative clinical and imaging findings, intraoperative observations, and histopathological analysis. In addition, this case includes the first documented instance of a parasitic leiomyoma of the ovarian ligament, lending support to the theory of metaplasia in its pathogenesis. Parasitic leiomyomas should be considered whenever a leiomyoma is detected outside the myometrium on imaging studies. The rare occurrence of fallopian tube leiomyomas warrants inclusion in the differential diagnosis of acute exacerbations of chronic pelvic pain in patients presenting with solid adnexal masses, particularly when such masses are palpable vaginally or visualised as distinct from the uterus. The absence of epidemiological data on parasitic leiomyomas of the fallopian tube and ovarian ligament underscores the need for further case reports and series to raise physician awareness of these extremely rare lesions.
