Uterine Tumors Resembling Ovarian Sex-Cord Tumors (UTROSCTs): Case Report and Narrative Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex-cord tumors (UTROSCTs) are among the rarest types of uterine tumors. Diagnosis of a UTROSCT is often challenging. Imaging techniques such as ultrasound and MRI are limited in distinguishing UTROSCTs as their appearance is usually suggestive of uterine leiomyoma or adenomyosis. Additionally, the value of a preoperative biopsy remains uncertain due to the heterogeneous composition of the tumor and the inadequacy of limited samplings. We present a rare case of UTROSCT in a 59-year-old woman and we have performed a narrative review of the literature on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from 2000 to June 2024, identifying 133 cases. According to our review, at histological exam UTROSCTs are mainly composed of cells resembling ovarian sex-cord elements which are arranged in cords or trabeculae, typically with a mild cytologic atypia. The most expressed sex-cord differentiation markers include inhibin, calretinin, melan A, CD56, CD99, SF1, WT1, CD10, and FOXL2. For women who have completed their reproductive plans, a total hysterectomy with adnexectomy is an adequate treatment for tumors confined to the uterus. For younger patients who wish to preserve fertility, tumorectomy via hysteroscopy or laparoscopy is the preferred treatment option and the recurrence rates range from 5% to 30%. Treatments for recurrent disease include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, often used in combination. Advancements in molecular profiling and immunohistochemistry will improve our ability to diagnose and manage this tumor. Such investigations will enhance prognostic stratification, facilitating more accurate predictions of biological behavior and recurrence risk.
