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 present study reported a case of Synchronous Mucinous Metaplasia and Neoplasia of the Female Genital Tract (SMMN-FGT), which occurred in a 47-year-old woman. The patient complained of pelvic mass during a physical examination a month ago. Ultrasound examination found an anechoic spot in the left ovary and several anechoic spots were detected in the cervix. The patient underwent left adnexectomy and the left ovarian frozen section revealed a mucinous borderline tumor. Total abdominal hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy were subsequently performed. Microscopically, multifocal mucinous lesions were involved in the female genital tract, including bilateral ovarian mucinous borderline tumor, cervical and endometrial mucinous adenocarcinoma and the bilateral fallopian tube epithelium showed mucinous metaplasia. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor cells of the ovary, cervix and endometrium expressed MUC6, exhibiting features of gastric-type differentiation. The Ki-67 proliferative index was ~10-70%. Cumulative evidence established SMMN-FGT as the final histopathological diagnosis with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I. Following surgery, the patient received a course of pelvic radiotherapy and survived for 16 months.
