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

This report describes a rare and complex case in which a patient, due to personal beliefs, persistently refused surgery, allowing a uterine leiomyoma to grow to 27.5 × 19.1 × 23.1 cm. This led to a series of life-threatening complications, including pseudo-Meigs syndrome (PMS) with massive pleural and ascitic effusions, 90% atelectasis of the right lung, left lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), an umbilical hernia, and severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Through multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration and a staged management strategy-involving initial inferior vena cava filter placement, nutritional support, and drainage of pleural and ascitic fluid, followed by successful tumor resection-the patient recovered. Postoperative pathology confirmed a cellular leiomyoma. This case profoundly illustrates the "cascade effect" whereby a massive pelvic mass, through mechanical compression and a sharp increase in intra-abdominal pressure, can lead to multi-system dysfunction.
