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

Background: Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare type of uterine malignancy typically classified into low-grade ESS (LG-ESS) and high-grade ESS. LG-ESS is characterized by low malignancy and limited metastasis, primarily to the lungs. Metastasis of the breast is extremely rare, posing significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Case demonstration: A 33-year-old female with a history of two cesarean sections was diagnosed with uterine LG-ESS five months prior. She was admitted for the excision of a left breast mass discovered during a routine examination. A histopathological biopsy confirmed the mass as a breast metastasis of LG-ESS. Postoperatively, she underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy at a cancer hospital. She has been followed up on for two years with no recurrence. Conclusions: ESS with breast metastasis is extremely rare. The morphological features of ESS with breast metastasis can resemble mesenchymal and sex cord-stromal tumors, complicating imaging and pathological diagnosis, especially if there is no known history of uterine ESS. This study highlights the clinicopathological features of LG-ESS with breast metastasis, including clinical manifestations, imaging features, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular genetic features, and treatment prognosis. It aims to provide new insights for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ESS with breast metastasis.
