Uterine Tumor Resembling Sex-Cord Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Uterine tumors resembling sex-cord tumors are a rare group of tumors with uncertain etiology and histogenesis. The sex-cord tumors are classified into two groups. The first group includes endometrial stromal tumors with foci of sex cord differentiation less than 50% while the second group is composed predominantly or exclusively by sex cord-like elements. We report the case of a middle-aged woman who presented with heavy vaginal bleeding with initial ultrasound findings suggestive of uterine leiomyoma. There was no improvement noticed after a trial of medical treatment; hence, the surgical treatment in the form of total abdominal hysterectomy was undertaken. A few weeks after the surgery, the patient presented with unexplained abdominal pain. Imaging studies demonstrated a hypermetabolic lesion in the upper part of the vagina that was suspicious for malignancy. Complete resection of the mass was performed along with para-aortic lymphadenopathy. Histopathological examination revealed a uterine tumor resembling a sex-cord tumor. Uterine tumors resembling sex-cord tumors are a unique group of uterine neoplasms that exhibits diverge clinical and biological characteristic. Surgical pathologists must recognize this rare entity and differentiate it from other lesions.
