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

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) of the uterine corpus is a rare but distinct malignant tumor of the female genital tract, demonstrating a characteristic morphology and unique immunohistochemical profiles and molecular alterations. We conducted immunohistochemical staining (IHC) to make precise differential diagnoses of uterine MLAs from common histological subtypes of endometrial carcinomas. We collected 25 uterine MLAs and performed IHC for GATA3, TTF1, CD10, ER, PR, p16, p53, and HER2. Seventeen cases (68.0%) showed at least moderate nuclear GATA3 immunoreactivity in ≥25% of tumor cells. Most cases expressed TTF1 (17/21, 81.0%) and CD10 (luminal; 17/21, 81.0%). Heterogeneous TTF1 expression was noted in 12 cases. An inverse pattern of GATA3 and TTF1 staining was observed in eight cases (32.0%). Three cases (12.0%) showed moderate-to-strong ER expression in ≥25% of tumor cells, and two cases (8.0%) showed moderate-to-strong PR expression in ≥5% of tumor cells. These hormone receptor-positive MLAs varied in intensity and proportion of GATA3 staining. None of the 25 cases exhibited either diffuse and strong p16 expression or aberrant p53 expression. Five cases (20.0%) showed equivocal HER2 immunoreactivity (score 2+), but
