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

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas are newly classified rare neoplasms of the upper genital tract. They share identical features with mesonephric adenocarcinomas, with the exception of location. There is ongoing discussion on whether mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas arise from mesonephric remnants or are of Müllerian origin. A 65-year-old woman (G2P1) presented with pelvic pain. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed multiple fibroids, and a robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was planned. Intraoperatively, a complex mass with cystic and solid components was found on the left ovary, which also adhered to the rectosigmoid colon. Pathologic reports documented mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma that appeared to be arising in association with an endometrioid adenofibroma. This case is notable due to the patient's unique background of in-utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) and multiple gynecological malignancies within her mother, as well as the associated endometrioid adenofibroma. This case contributes evidence to two seemingly opposing theories of mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma histogenesis: the mesonephric remnant theory (supported by the patient's DES exposure), and the Müllerian theory (supported by the associated endometrioid adenofibroma).
