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

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the endometrium is a very rare variant of endometrial carcinoma characterized by syncytial nests of pleomorphic epithelial cells and heavy infiltration of the stroma by lymphocytes (in particular CD8 cytotoxic T-lymphocytes) and plasma cells. Until now, only five cases have been characterized in this location. This report describes the clinicopathological and the molecular features of this unusual tumor. In particular, using the next generation sequencing (NGS) technique, we have demonstrated that this tumor could be associated with PIK3CA and p53 gene mutations. These data have not been reported to date and suggest that lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the endometrium shares common molecular features with high grade endometrioid and serous-like endometrial carcinoma which are associated with poor outcome. Nevertheless, in endometrial lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma, the alterations on cell cycle, apoptosis, and/or senescence secondary to p53 mutations could potentially be counterbalanced by the antitumoral response induced by CD8 cytotoxic T-lymphocytes numerous in these tumors.
