Tracking Endometrial Malacoplakia Through the Evolution of 2D and 3D Ultrasound and Histopathological Features.

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
Malacoplakia is an uncommon disease characterized by chronic and granulomatous inflammation, which rarely involves the female genital tract. We describe the ecographic and histological evolution of the first case of a patient developing endometrial malacoplakia as a complication after a cesarean section. The patient, a 43-year-old woman, presented with pelvic pain one month after delivering by cesarean section and the initial suspicion was of retention of placental rests. We discuss the diagnostic challenges for this rare disease, highlighting the importance of considering endometrial malacoplakia as a possible diagnosis in patients with similar clinical presentations and the important role of 2D and 3D ultrasound in the diagnostic pathway. In literature, ultrasound findings in cases of endometrial malacoplakia are represented by hypoechoic thickening of the endometrial lining; hyperechoic thickening of the myometrium, and the presence of masses, nodules, cystic areas, or anechoic fluid within the endometrium. For the first time, we describe the evolution of endometrial malacoplakia through both ultrasound, 2D and 3D, and histopathological findings, from the acute to chronic stage of the disease.
