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

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCTs) are rare and commonly characterized as benign tumors, with infrequent reports of metastasis and recurrence. Treatment recommendations have not been well established, particularly for more advanced cases. We present the first reported death from a metastatic UTROSCT, summarize the available literature, and describe characteristics common to UTROSCTs with aggressive features. In this case, a 49-year-old woman presented with abdominal distension and pain; initial imaging and diagnostic workup suggested metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer to be the cause. The patient subsequently underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by optimal cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Final pathology revealed UTROSCT with omental and peritoneal metastases. She then underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with subsequent recurrence and died 15 months after her initial diagnosis. Our analysis of this case and the available literature led us to identify pathologic risk factors that may help predict aggressive UTROSCT behavior.
