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

backgroundMalignant transformation of endometriosis in extraovarian sites remains rare. Furthermore, the process is not definitely understood. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report the case of a 40-year-old premenopausal nulligravida woman who presented with vaginal bleeding and who was finally diagnosed with a vaginal cancer originating from endometriosis and with a synchronous endometrial cancer. A gynecologic examination revealed a multiple polypoid mass on the posterior vaginal fornix. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the pelvis showed two masses abutting respectively on the anterior uterine wall, and in the rectovaginal septum. The patient underwent a total laparoscopic excision of the rectovaginal mass, radical hysterectomy and low anterior resection of the rectum. The lesions were diagnosed as endometriosis, endometriosis-associated complex hyperplasia and endometrioid cancer. Furthermore, a synchronous endometrioid endometrial cancer was reported.

conclusionsThis case revealed the multistep process of malignant transformation of deep infiltrating endometriosis. The progression was individualized between implantation sites and in the same organ.
