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

Molecular diagnostics have broadened the categorization of mesenchymal tumors of the uterus. Knowledge of the increasing heterogeneity of uterine neoplasms is paramount for the gynecologist as the management and prognosis of these neoplasms differ from those of typical leiomyomas. In this case, a 26-year-old nulligravid patient underwent hysteroscopic management for an enlarging submucosal neoplasm of the uterus. She was found to have an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) after ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) immunostaining. Upon review of pathologic characteristics, she was treated expectantly with repeat hysteroscopy 12 months later. Ongoing conservative management will entail serial pelvic imaging. IMTs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fibroids presenting in young women. Fertility-preserving management in select patients is appropriate after patient counselling.
