Two Cases of Giant Uterine Leiomyomas With Myomatous Erythrocytosis Syndrome Treated by Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.

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
Myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome (MES) is a rare condition characterized by erythrocytosis, the presence of uterine leiomyomas, and the rapid normalization of hematologic parameters following tumor removal. Ectopic erythropoietin (EPO) production by the tumor is considered the main cause. We encountered two postmenopausal women with giant uterine leiomyomas complicated by MES. Case 1 involved a 21-cm subserosal leiomyoma, and Case 2 involved a 14-cm intramural leiomyoma. We performed total laparoscopic hysterectomy with in-bag morcellation in both cases, enabling safe specimen retrieval. Postoperatively, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum EPO levels decreased promptly. Despite the large tumor size, both patients showed only upper-normal serum EPO concentrations, suggesting that tumor weight does not necessarily correlate with EPO secretion.
