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

Superficially spreading cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the superficial extension of SCC of the cervix into the uterine lumen, replacing the endometrium. Here, we report a case of superficially spreading cervical SCC manifesting as intrauterine mural nodules with restricted diffusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 76-year-old woman with a history of conization presented with a pelvic mass. MRI revealed a large cystic lesion with mural nodules and wall thickening. The nodular lesions and thickened walls showed high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and low signal intensity on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. We performed a laparotomy for diagnosis and treatment and suspected that the tumor was of uterine origin. Hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy were performed. Histopathological examination revealed superficial spreading of the cervical SCC. Superficially spreading cervical SCC can manifest as intrauterine mural nodules on MRI. DWI is useful for delineating this disease. If mural nodules or endometrial thickening with restricted diffusion are found in the uterine lumen, clinicians should consider the possibility of the superficial spread of cervical SCC.
