Acquired smooth muscle hamartoma mimicking scrotal filariasis: A rare case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Smooth muscle hamartoma (SMH) is a rare benign lesion characterized by an overgrowth of smooth muscle fibers, typically originating from the arrector pili muscles in the dermis. We report the case of a 39-year-old male sailor with a progressively enlarging scrotal for several years, with rapid enlargement within the past year. The mass was intermittently painful, especially during physical exertion. The patient underwent successful surgical excision with bilateral orchidopexy. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of ASMH. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. This case highlights the importance of considering ASMH in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses. Conservative testis-sparing surgery can result in excellent outcomes.
