Pure nongestational uterine choriocarcinoma in postmenopausal women: a case report with literature review.
Review in Cancer biology & therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Nongestational choriocarcinoma is rare, especially in postmenopausal women. It may be derived from the transformation of germ cells or dedifferentiation of other tumor tissue cells. It is usually found in the ovaries but rarely in the uterus. Pure nongestational uterine choriocarcinoma in postmenopausal women is exceptional. Thirty-four cases of choriocarcinoma have been found during the past 25 y at the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of these 34 cases and found only two cases of nongestational uterine choriocarcinoma, both of which were postmenopausal women. We also reviewed 19 other cases previously reported during the past 50 y (from 1970 to 2018) that were identified as uterine choriocarcinoma in postmenopausal women. Analysis of these combined data indicates that nongestational choriocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm in postmenopausal patients. It genetically originates entirely in the patient, and short tandem repeat (STR) analyses are usually required to differentiate gestational and nongestational choriocarcinoma. Although nongestational choriocarcinoma shows some response to chemotherapy, sensitivity is much poorer than that in gestational choriocarcinoma. The prognosis for nongestational choriocarcinoma is poor and the long-term survival rate is low.
