Coexistence of uterine adenomyosis is not associated with a better prognosis in endometrioid-type endometrial cancer.

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
backgroundPrognostic value of accompanying adenomyosis in endometrial cancer is the subject of interest due to their common etiology and co-occurrence frequency. However, it is still unclear whether adenomyosis has a role in the prognosis of endometrial cancer.
aimsThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of adenomyosis on the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer.
methodsIn this study, medical records of 552 patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer who underwent surgery between 2007 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of adenomyosis, and these two groups were compared in terms of the clinicopathological factors and survival outcomes of patients.
resultsOf these patients, 103 (18.7%) had adenomyosis, and the remaining 449 (81.3%) did not. The endometrial cancer patients with adenomyosis exhibited earlier stages (p < 0.001), lower tumor grades (p < 0.001), tumor sizes ≤ 2 cm (p = 0.002), myometrial invasion < 50% (p < 0.001), and negative lymphovascular space invasion (p < 0.001). The 5-year overall survival rate was comparable between the adenomyosis and non-adenomyosis groups (95 vs. 89.1%, respectively; p = 0.085). The presence of adenomyosis was significantly associated with a higher 5-year disease-free survival rate (95.1 vs. 87.9%; p = 0.047), but adenomyosis did not remain as a prognostic factor in multivariate analysis.
conclusionThe results of our study showed that the endometrioid endometrial cancer patients with adenomyosis are significantly associated with smaller tumor sizes, less myometrial invasion, lower tumor grades, less lymphovascular space invasion, and earlier FIGO stages. Nevertheless, adenomyosis was not found to be an independent prognostic factor for endometrioid endometrial cancer.
