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

Background: Extrauterine adenomyomas (EAs) are rare benign lesions that arise outside the uterus and only rarely involve the lung. Case Presentation: We describe a 34-year-old woman with a history of multiple gynecological surgeries who was diagnosed with a pulmonary benign uterine adenomyoma. Chest CT, pelvic MRI, and ultrasound revealed pulmonary masses, uterine adenomyosis with fibroids, and an adnexal cystic mass. A CT-guided lung biopsy confirmed benign uterine adenomyoma; the diagnosis was supported by histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. The patient received goserelin acetate and letrozole, and serial follow-up chest CT through November 2024 showed stable pulmonary lesions without respiratory symptoms. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering EAs in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary masses, particularly in individuals with uterine adenomyosis. It demonstrates that endocrine therapy can be an effective option for managing benign adenomyomas in patients who are inoperable or prefer non-surgical management.
