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

purposeCervical cancer metastases to the ovary may occur with advanced tumor stage, deep cervical stromal involvement and corpus involvement. Endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) with ovarian involvement is exceptionally rare with about twelve reported cases.

methodsHere we present a case of endocervical AIS with ovarian and pulmonary involvement 39 months after the initial diagnosis. The characteristics of that case were compared and summarized with the eleven previously published cases.

resultsThe patients' age ranged between 30 and 40 years (median 37.4 years). The time interval between the diagnosis of AIS and ovarian involvement was 26.7 months (range 2-84 months). Majority of the patients are alive without evidence of disease after a median time of 63.4 months (range 9-156 months). All reported cases were positive for high-risk HPV which was associated with strong p16 expression on immunohistochemistry.

conclusionsThe ovarian involvement by endocervical AIS suggests the concept of a transtubal spread of the neoplastic cervical cells with or without previous colonization within the endometrium without evidence of invasive growth, suggesting a seed and soil spread of the disease. In cases with ovarian involvement by the AIS and without additional extragenital spread, the prognosis may be favorable.
