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) arising in the ovary is a rare malignant tumor of the female genital tract. Although the clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of uterine MLA have been accumulated, those of ovarian MLA have not been firmly clarified. In this study, we investigated the clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of five ovarian MLAs. A review of electronic medical records and pathology slides, immunostaining, and targeted sequencing was performed. On imaging, ovarian MLA presented as either a mixed solid and cystic mass or a purely solid mass. One, three, and one patient were diagnosed as having FIGO stage IA, IC, and II MLA, respectively. Four patients with stage IC-II tumor underwent post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy. Three of the four patients whose follow-up information was available did not experience recurrence. In contrast, the remaining patient with stage IA tumor who did not receive any adjuvant treatment developed multiple metastatic recurrences at post-operative 13 months. Histologically, ovarian MLAs characteristically displayed architectural diversity, compactly aggregated small tubules, and eosinophilic intraluminal secretions. Four tumors were found to be associated with endometriotic cysts. Two cases showed some areas of high-grade nuclear atypia, brisk mitotic activity, and necrosis. Immunohistochemically, all cases showed positive immunoreactivities for at least three of the four examined mesonephric markers (GATA3, PAX2, TTF1, and CD10), lack of WT1 expression, non-diffuse p16 immunoreactivity, and wild-type p53 immunostaining pattern. Targeted sequencing analysis revealed that all four examined cases harbored pathogenic
