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

backgroundSMARCA4 deficient uterine sarcoma (SDUS) is a relatively new entity added to the family of uterine sarcoma characterised by SMARCA4/BRG1 deficiency. CASE: A 62 years old lady presented with abdominal pain and vaginal discharge. On evaluation, found to have a pelvic mass with lymph nodal involvement. She underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy. Preliminary diagnosis made outside was endometrial stromal sarcoma. On further review, had epithelioid and rhabdoid morphology with SMARCA4 loss documented on comprehensive gene profiling. Recurrence within few months of surgery was seen. She was started on gemcitabine and taxol based chemotherapy, showing significant clinical and radiological improvement.

conclusionDiagnostic dilemma of this infrequent, aggressive subtype of uterine sarcoma adds to the hindrance in early recognition. Identifying histology surmounted with gene profiling is helpful in establishing diagnosis resulting in early treatment and improving outcomes.
