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

backgroundOvarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a newly described histological type known for its aggressive behavior. This study aims to determine the frequency of ovarian MLA, review the existing literature, and elucidate its clinicopathological characteristics, including the potential therapeutic targets.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the pathological diagnoses of 501 primary ovarian cancer surgical cases at our institution from 2010 to 2023. MLAs exhibiting typical morphological and immunohistochemical features were included. The frequency and clinicopathological characteristics of these cases were summarized. Additionally, we conducted a literature search using PubMed to collect and summarize previously reported cases of ovarian MLAs.

resultsAmong the 501 primary ovarian cancer cases, we identified 3 cases (0.6%) of MLA. The patients were 52-76 years old, and the initial FIGO stages were IC1 (two cases) and IIIB (one case). All the cases exhibited HRP, pMMR, PD-L1 negativity (CPS < 1), and low HER2 expression. Two cases experienced metastatic recurrence. A literature review identified 97 cases of MLA. The MLAs frequently exhibited

conclusionMLAs accounted for 0.6% of malignant ovarian tumors at our institution, all of which were advanced or recurrent cases. These cases showed HRP, pMMR, and PD-L1 negativity, indicating a lack of current therapeutic targets. The literature also reported a high incidence of advanced and recurrent cases, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and the development of new treatments. The frequent
