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: Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare smooth-muscle tumor that occurs in patients with a history of uterine leiomyoma, with the lungs being the most commonly involved extrauterine site. Pulmonary BML can mimic metastatic malignancy on imaging. Decades-long intervals after uterine surgery have been reported, and Case presentation: A 59-year-old postmenopausal, nonsmoking woman presented with multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules 30 years after hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma. Conclusion: Pulmonary BML should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple pulmonary nodules in women with a remote history of uterine leiomyoma. Mild FDG uptake cannot distinguish pulmonary BML from a low-grade malignancy. Integrated clinical, radiological, and pathological assessment is therefore required to establish the diagnosis and avoid unnecessary treatment.
