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

We report on 51-year-old woman who presented with brown discharge and postcoital bleeding due to myoma nascens-like polypoid mass distending cervical canal. Histologically, the tumor consisted of high-grade spindle cell component with up to 15 mitotic figures per 10 HPF and also low-grade leiomyoma-like areas with focal myxoid change and so far undescribed cytoplasmic signet ring cell change. Immunohistochemically Desmin, actin, and h-caldesmon were negative. Conversely, BCOR positive expression was coupled with Cyclin D1 positivity and was antibody clone dependent. The molecular NGS and FISH study identified reciprocal fusion gene ZC3H7B-BCOR. In conclusion, these findings further support the idea of routine reflex molecular testing of uterine mesenchymal tumors with unusual clinical presentation or in case malignancy is suspected. Lastly, we suggest ZC3H7B-BCOR rearranged high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma might be considered as a tumor suitable for BCL6-targeted treatment.
