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

Primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the uterus is rare and requires exclusion of possible metastatic tumour to the uterus. We report a case of a woman in her 70s who underwent hysteroscopy and a polypectomy for a polyp arising from the uterine wall. On histological examination, malignant cells with signet-ring cell morphology were found within the fragments of endometrial tissue. Immunohistochemical studies indicated a metastatic adenocarcinoma possibly from the gastrointestinal tract. Additional radiological investigations revealed a possible primary gastric tumour, which was further confirmed on subsequent biopsies. This case illustrates that gastric carcinomas can rarely metastasise to the endometrium and highlights the importance of clinical correlation in arriving at the final diagnosis.
