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

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is an uncommon uterine mesenchymal neoplasm. The primary extra-uterine location of ESS is a very rare occurrence. We present a case of a 39-year-old woman presented with severe abdominal pain, MRI showed bilateral ovarian tumors with heterogeneous intensity on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), with restricted diffusion, including hyperintense areas on T1WI, not erased on T1-weighted fat-suppressed imaging, hypointense on T2WI, and not enhanced after contrast. This mass extended to the Douglas and invaded the uterine and the rectum serosa suggesting an underlying endometriosis. No abnormalities were suspected in the endometrium. The exploration revealed a friable mass arising from ovaries associated with nodules in the small intestine and sigmoid. The patient underwent bilateral adnexectomy and the anatomopathological study revealed a low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. This is one of the few reports covering the radiological features of low-grade extra-uterine ESS in the ovary which is probably secondary to degeneration of endometriosis with no evidence of primary uterine ESS.
