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

We present the first case of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) invading a leiomyoma, which was difficult to diagnose preoperatively. A 49-year-old multiparous woman was referred to our institution due to the enlargement of an old leiomyoma after menopause. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a 40-mm lesion in the myometrium of the uterine body with calcification and edema. Color Doppler imaging showed blood flow along the margins of the mass. Pelvic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 39-mm mass in the uterine body, predominantly having a low intensity on T2-weighted images, suggesting leiomyoma containing a cystic lesion with a small solid component. This solid component appeared to have a high intensity on T2-weighted images, high intensity on diffusion-weighted images, low value on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map images, and contrast effect.
