Uterine carcinosarcoma showing immature teratoid-like differentiation.

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.
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
A carcinosarcoma is a rare form of cancer characterised by the presence of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Here, we present our experience with an extremely rare case of an uterine carcinosarcoma with immature teratoid-like differentiation. The patient was a woman in her 60s. She was referred for the evaluation of a uterine tumour. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy and received postoperative treatment with paclitaxel and carboplatin. On microscopic examination, the tumour had a heterogeneous appearance with a combination of carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements, and teratoid features. The tumour included immature squamous epithelial cells and immature epithelial glands, and focal atypical fused glands, which are consistent with endometrioid carcinoma, were identified in the endometrium. Pathological differentiation from extrarenal Wilms' tumour and teratocarcinosarcoma was challenging. The final pathological diagnosis was uterine carcinosarcoma with immature teratoid-like differentiation. At 14 months after the surgery, the patient has not experienced recurrence.
