Endometrial stromal sarcoma arising from polypoid endometriosis: Case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPolypoid endometriosis (PE) is a rare and uncommon variant of endometriosis that may present as a polypoid mass that simulates a malignant neoplasm. Typically, PE develops locally as a large benign pelvic mass. However, it may sometimes conceal a malignant disease in its context. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53 years old, nulliparous lady, had been treated over a 10-year period for recurrent and symptomatic polypoid endometriosis of the pelvis. During this time, she underwent four surgical resections, the final one being a total pelvic exenteration, with histology demonstrating the presence of a rare myxoid low grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (ESS) that had arisen in PE.
conclusionPE is a rare variant growth pattern of endometriosis which may involve different pelvic organs and can mimic a malignant mass in the pelvis. It mostly affects women in their peri- or post-menopausal age and it is not always related to hormonal therapy. Malignances, such as Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma in this case, can arise in the context of PE and their diagnosis can be challenging. Surgical excision may constitute radical multi-organ resection, particularly for recurrent and symptomatic cases. However, the recurrence rates after surgery can be significant.
