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

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative cervical carcinomas are uncommon and typically encompass unusual histologic subtypes. Mesonephric adenocarcinoma is one such subtype. Mesonephric tumors in the female genital tract are thought to arise from Wolffian remnants, and are extremely rare tumors with widely variable morphology. Sarcomatoid dedifferentiation has been previously described in a few cases, but other forms of dedifferentiation have not been reported. Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (e.g. small cell carcinoma) is associated with HPV infection, typically HPV 18. These tumors often arise in association with a conventional epithelial component such as squamous cell carcinoma or usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma. We describe a case of mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix associated with an HPV-negative high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma at the morphologic and immunophenotypic level, for which we performed targeted massively parallel sequencing analysis of the 2 elements. Both components shared identical mutations in U2AF1 p.R156H (c.467G>A) and GATA3 p.M422fs (c.1263dupG), as well as MYCN amplification. In addition, the neuroendocrine carcinoma harbored TP53 and MST1R mutations not present in the mesonephric carcinoma. Our data suggest a clonal origin of the 2 components of this rare entity, rather than a collision tumor.
