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

backgroundAlveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy. ASPS usually occurs most commonly in the deep soft tissues of the thigh and buttock or the head and neck regions. ASPS that originate from the uterine corpus are even more rare, with only 10 previous cases reported in the English literature. CASE PRESENTATION: In our case, the alveolar features were completely lost and the tumour shows a solid, non-alveolar pattern and the nuclei have marked variation in nuclear size, and multinucleation. The correct pathological diagnosis has been made by immuno- histochemical and ultrastructural features, which rvealed overexpression of TFE3 and peculiar cytoplasmic crystalline inclusions. In this paper, an additional case of primary ASPS of uterine corpus is reported with immunohistochemical, ultrastructural study and review of literature in the effort to delineate its clinical and pathological features. In this unusual site, the diagnosis can be problematic because ASPS can mimic other primary or metastatic uterine neoplasms.

conclusionsThus, in this unusual presentation an essential diagnostic marker is the nuclear over-expression of TFE3 as well as ultrastructural study, which reveals the presence of peculiar cytoplasmic crystalline inclusions.
