Endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum with invasion of the rectum: a case report and review of literature.
Review in World journal of surgical oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundMalignant transformation of endometriosis in the rectovaginal septum is rare and usually misdiagnosed as a colorectal or gynecological tumor. We report a rare case of primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum with invasion of the rectum. CASE PRESENTATION: A 57-year-old overweight woman presented with vaginal bleeding and self-reported left lower abdominal pain during the previous 2 weeks. Preoperative imaging showed a large pelvic mass with invasion of the rectum, suggestive of a gynecologic malignancy. Multiple endoscopic biopsies and immunohistochemical analyses of specimens was performed. The patient received joint gynecological-surgical laparotomy, and there were no intra- or postoperative complications. The histopathological diagnosis was rectovaginal endometrioid adenocarcinoma with rectum infiltration. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and achieved good treatment response, with no early complications. At 12 months after surgery, there was no evidence of recurrence.
conclusionsA high index of clinical suspicion is required for the diagnosis of endometrioid adenocarcinoma in the rectovaginal septum. Surgery combined with additional chemotherapy or radiotherapy seems to be a standard treatment, and hormonal therapy is optional. The efficacies of other therapies, including targeted medication and immunotherapy, are unknown.
