The pattern is the issue: recent advances in adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.
Review in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
In this article, we review a novel risk stratification system for endocervical adenocarcinoma, developed by an international consortium of pathologists after reviewing over 350 such tumors. Their analysis culminated in a three-tiered histopathologic system based on morphologic examination of the tumor, independent of clinical features and stage (depth of invasion). It resulted in better determination of patients' tumors and likelihood of lymph node metastasis as well as aggressive behavior. A non-destructive pattern (that in some cases was in the histologic differential diagnosis with adenocarcinoma in situ) had an indolent behavior and was labeled pattern A. The other two patterns had destructive invasion, one only focally (pattern B) while pattern C showed diffuse destructive invasion. This system can help select appropriate treatment modalities avoiding unnecessary complications. We comment on specifics of this system as well as issues in differentiation of the tumor patterns, its clinical utility and recent advances in the molecular arena.
