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

SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated uterine sarcoma (SDUS) is a highly invasive single-gene malignant tumor caused by mutations in the SMARCA4 gene. SDUS has a poor prognosis, with no established treatment strategy at present. Further, there is a lack of relevant research on the role of the immune microenvironment in SDUS worldwide. Here, we report a case of SDUS that was diagnosed and analysed using morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular detection techniques, along with the analysis of the immune microenvironment. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells showed retained INI-1 expression, focal CD10 expression, and loss of BRG1, CK-pan, synaptophysin, desmin, and ER expression. Further, some of the immune cells expressing CD3 and CD8 had infiltrated into the SDUS, but no PD-L1 expression was detected. The multiple immunofluorescent staining results showed that a proportion of the immune cells and SDUS cells expressed CD8/CD68/PD-1/PD-L1. Therefore, our report will help in the diagnostic awareness of SDUS.
