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

Background: Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is extremely rare in pregnancy. It shares clinical and imaging features with more common pregnancy findings such as leiomyoma and molar gestations, which makes diagnosis challenging. Case: A 36-year-old patient presented at 8 weeks and 1 day gestation for vaginal bleeding. An intrauterine pregnancy with an appropriately sized embryo with heart motion and a 9.5 cm complex uterine mass was found on ultrasound. MRI showed an 11.4 cm cystic mass with nodular septations causing mass effect on the endometrial cavity. After extensive counseling, the patient underwent a gravid abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. Final pathology showed low grade ESS. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of evaluating suspicious uterine masses in pregnancy and the necessity for safe abortion access.
