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
Background: Leiomyoma-associated cutaneous sinus tracts are exceptionally rare and typically associated with prior uterine surgeries, such as cesarean section or myomectomy. Fistula formation from an infected uterine leiomyoma involving the uterine parenchyma, without prior myomectomy, represents an uncommon clinical presentation. Case: A 22-year-old woman with a history of cesarean section 5 months prior presented with purulent discharge from an abdominal mass. Imaging revealed a large uterine mass containing gas, with a fistulous tract extending to the abdominal skin. Laparotomy confirmed a fistulous tract extending from the abdominal skin to an infected leiomyoma within the uterine fundal parenchyma, without demonstrable communication with the endometrial cavity. Surgical intervention consisted of fistula closure, myomectomy, and drainage. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a uterine leiomyoma with chronic suppurative inflammation, consistent with an infected myoma. The patient remained asymptomatic for 15 months following surgery. Conclusion: This case highlights a rare variant of leiomyoma-associated cutaneous sinus tract arising from an infected uterine leiomyoma involving the uterine parenchyma. Careful diagnostic evaluation and tailored surgical management resulted in complete recovery and a favorable long-term outcome.
