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

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor, mainly localized in the extremities and occurring principally in adolescents and young adults. Alveolar soft part sarcoma are uncommon in the female genital tract. We here report a case of alveolar soft part sarcoma in a 20-year-old nullipara, presenting with vaginal bleeding and profound anemia requiring blood transfusions. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a polyp in the lower uterine segment. Surgical resection of the polyp was performed, and pathological evaluation showed typical histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features consistent with alveolar soft part sarcoma. Patient underwent for total hysterectomy. Currently, she follows up with her surgeon and has no new complains. Given the infrequency of alveolar soft part sarcoma, this case report raises the awareness of alveolar soft part sarcoma as one of the entities to consider when confronted with a uterine polyp in a young patient.
