Ovarian Mesonephric-like Adenocarcinoma With Multifocal Microscopic Involvement of the Fimbrial Surface: Potential for Misdiagnosis of Tubal Intraepithelial Metastasis as Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma Associated With Ovarian High-grade Serous Carcinoma.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimWe describe a rare case of ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) involving the fimbria and mimicking serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC). CASE REPORT: A 47-year-old woman presented with a 4.4-cm left ovarian mass. Histologically, the ovarian tumor showed papillary and solid architecture, severe nuclear pleomorphism, and increased mitotic activity. Some microscopic foci where the tumor cells spread horizontally along the fimbrial surface epithelium were noted, compatible with STIC. We initially considered the ovarian tumor to be high-grade serous carcinoma accompanied by a fimbrial STIC. However, immunostaining revealed nuclear immunoreactivity for paired box 2 and GATA-binding protein 3, but lacked expression of Wilms tumor 1. A thorough slide review and additional immunostaining revealed architectural diversity, densely eosinophilic intraluminal secretions, and lack of hormone receptor expression, supporting the diagnosis of MLA.
conclusionMicroscopic intraepithelial metastases of the MLA to the fimbria mimic STIC. We recommend ancillary tests, such as immunostaining, in patients with ovarian tumors whenever possible, particularly for those with differential diagnosis of MLA and high-grade serous carcinoma.
