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

The aim of this article is to summarize the MRI features of each sarcoma subtype and to correlate them with its pathological findings. Literature review through PubMed/Medline database to identify relevant articles on uterine sarcomas, with a special emphasis on their MRI findings and pathological features. While several, more generalistic, MRI findings of a uterine tumour should raise suspicion for malignancy (including irregular contour, intra-tumoral necrosis/hemorrhage and low ADC values), some particular features may suggest their specific histological subtype such as the gross lymphovascular invasion associated with endometrial stromal sarcomas, the "bag of worms" appearance of the low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma and the "lattice-like" aspect of adenosarcomas which results from the mixed composition of solid and multiseptated cystic components. Knowledge of the different histological uterine sarcoma subtypes, their specific MRI features and comprehension of their pathological background allows for a more confident diagnosis and may indicate the correct histological subtype.
