Liquid-based Cytological Features of Adenocarcinoma Not Otherwise Specified, Extrauterine Adenocarcinoma, and Other Malignant Neoplasms of The Uterine Cervix: A 5-year Single-institutional Experience With 30 Consecutive Patients.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe adenocarcinoma (ADC) and other malignant neoplasm (OMN) terminologies of The Bethesda System represent various histological types of uterine and extrauterine malignancies. This study aimed to clarify the incidences of ADC not otherwise specified (ADC-NOS), ADC extrauterine (ADC-EXT), and OMN in our institution and describe their characteristic cytomorphological features. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe searched the database to identify all patients diagnosed with carcinoma, including those diagnosed through cervical liquid-based cytology (LBC), between January 2019 and December 2023. The electronic medical records and all available slides were reviewed.
resultsOverall, 30 of the 149,197 (0.02%) patients were diagnosed with ADC-NOS, ADC-EXT, and OMN. All three groups included various histological types of both gynecological and non-gynecological origin. More than two-thirds (23/30; 76.7%) were of uterine origin, but seven patients had metastatic carcinoma of extrauterine organ origin, including the ovary, lung, stomach, breast, colon, urethra, and pancreas. In all patients, the cytological features were concordant with the histological features.
conclusionIn LBC, ADC-NOS does not only encompass uterine cervical tumors, but also various types of extrauterine malignancies. ADC-EXT and OMN also represent both extrauterine and uterine tumors. Awareness of the morphological features observed in LBC samples of non-gynecological malignancies may be helpful in obtaining the correct diagnosis.
