Malignant mixed Müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube: Case report and literature review.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Carcinosarcoma, also known as malignant mixed Müllerian tumor (MMMT), includes both malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements. While the endometrium is the most frequent known site for carcinosarcomas, their development in the fallopian tube is rare condition, only accounting for 0.1 to 0.5% among all gynecological malignancies. Fallopian tube MMMT is associated with an aggressive progression. A total of 94 previous case reports were reviewed and divided, after applying the exclusion criteria, into 2 groups: No evidence of disease (NED) Group including 33 patients reported to be without any residual disease at the end of the follow-up period; death of disease (DOD) Group including 51 patients who died due to the progression of fallopian carcinosarcoma or its complications. The gathered data were statistically analyzed together with a case from our clinical experience: a 65-year-old postmenopausal patient with a final histological diagnosis of fallopian carcinosarcoma staged FIGO IC2, synchronous with a serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma. Patient age between 41 and 60 years, symptoms at presentation and computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tumor evidence are prognostic factors (P<0.05). Omentectomy [odds ratio (OR)=0.3545] and pelvic lymphadenectomy (OR=0.3732) were found to be significant factors for survival (P<0.05). Fimbrial localization of the tumor is a negative prognosis factor (OR=4.263), as well as the heterologous type of tumor (OR=2.880). Chemotherapy was found to improve survival (OR=0.2679) while radiotherapy had no influence on patient prognosis. Reporting these rare cases could be essential for obtaining more precise information regarding the treatment and prognosis of patients with MMMT of the fallopian tube, in order to improve patient survival and quality of life.
