Disseminated Endometriosis and Low-Grade Endometrioid Stromal Sarcoma in a Patient with a History of Uterine Morcellation for Adenomyosis.

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
Morcellation of benign uterine tumors allows for removal of the tumors via minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. However, in rare cases, morcellation has been associated with upstaging of unexpected malignancies. Morcellation has also been associated with dissemination of benign pathologic processes such as endometriosis and leiomyomas. Endometrial stromal sarcoma typically arises in the uterine cavity, although cases of extrauterine endometrioid stromal sarcoma arising out of foci of endometriosis have been reported. Dissemination of endometrial stromal sarcomas can be an unintended consequence of morcellation procedures, as can dissemination of endometriosis, from which endometrioid stromal sarcomas can arise. Herein, we report a case of a 55-year-old woman who was found to have disseminated endometriosis and low-grade endometrioid stromal sarcoma, with bowel and liver parenchymal metastasis, 7 years after undergoing supracervical hysterectomy with unconfined uterine morcellation for adenomyosis. Our case highlights the potential for malignant transformation of disseminated adenomyosis/endometriosis and the importance of patient counseling and shared decision-making prior to morcellation procedures.
