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

An increasing number of case reports have been published regarding the occurrence of extra-endometrial epithelial tumors of the uterine corpus. The majority of these cases are endometrial cancers arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA). This report describes the case of a postmenopausal woman who presented with a cystic tumor measuring 15 cm in diameter in the pelvic cavity. Prior to surgery, the tumor was considered to be a malignant ovarian cystic tumor with solid components based on imaging studies. A laparotomy was performed, revealing an intramural tumor of the uterine corpus. The intraoperative frozen section diagnosis was inconclusive. Consequently, a hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed without additional staging procedures. The final histopathological examination by permanent section revealed that the tumor was histologically composed of clear cell carcinoma, accompanied by adenomyotic foci in the surrounding myometrium. It is noteworthy that while most uterine intramural tumors are mesenchymal in nature, intramural extra-endometrial epithelial tumors such as EC-AIA can also manifest as uterine intramural tumors.
