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

Atypical endometriosis is reported to possess a precancerous potential attributed to premalignant changes characterized by cytological atypia and architecture proliferation. Moreover, the coexistence of atypical endometriosis and neoplasms had been reported. However, cases of atypical endometriosis transformation to carcinoma are rarely reported. We describe the case of a 33-year-old woman who had a long therapeutic history of endometriosis. Three laparoscopic surgeries were performed to treat endometriosis. After the third surgery, she was diagnosed as having grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma. The histological review of the previous surgery confirmed the diagnosis of atypical endometriosis based on the second specimen. The patient's disease progressed from a benign endometriotic cyst to atypical endometriosis and finally to endometrioid adenocarcinoma within 10 years. When we encounter cases of atypical endometriosis, it is necessary to consider the possibility of ovarian cancer and carefully follow the patients for long periods.
