The comparison of pure uterine serous carcinoma and mixed tumor with serous component: a single-institution review of 91 cases.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPure uterine serous carcinoma (p-USC) and mixed tumors with serous component (m-USC) are aggressive subtypes of endometrial cancer associated with high mortality rates. This retrospective study aimed to compare clinicopathologic features and outcomes of p-USC and m-USC in a single center.
methodsThis study retrospectively reviewed patients diagnosed with USC at Peking University People's Hospital between 2008 and 2022. T-tests and chi-square tests were used to compare clinicopathological characteristics between p-USC and m-USC. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the impact of clinical and pathological variables on OS and PFS.
resultsAmong the 91 patients who underwent surgery, 65.9% (n = 60) were p-USC, and 34.1% (n = 31) were m-USC. Patients with p-USC had earlier menopause (P = 0.0217), a lower rate of progesterone receptor(PR) expression (P < 0.001), and were more likely to have positive peritoneal cytology (P = 0.0464). After a median follow-up time of 40 months, 28 (46.7%) p-USC and 9 (29%) m-USC patients had progression disease, 18 (30%) and 8 (25.8%) patients died of their disease. 5-year PFSR were 51.2% and 75.3%, respectively, and 5-year OS rates were 66% and 67.4%. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that p-USC was more likely to relapse than m-USC (P = 0.034), but there was no significant difference in OS. Cox regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis and surgical approach were risk factors for OS, and myoinvasion depth ≥ 1/2 was an independent risk factor for PFS.
conclusionsp-USC was more likely to relapse than m-USC, but there was no significant difference in OS between the two subtypes.
