Cytological features of invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma of the uterine cervix and literature review.
Article in Discover oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (ISMC) is a rare type of cervical adenocarcinoma associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Stratified mucin-producing intraepithelial lesion (SMILE) is an in situ glandular lesion of ISMC. Such lesions have been reported in histology, but cytologic features of ISMC and SMILE are rarely reported in previous cervical cytology. Herein, we report a case of ISMC combined with usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (UEA). Cytologically, most cells showed morphological features of UEA cells. Another small portion of the cells was arranged in layers or scattered individually, with rich mucin in the cytoplasm and stained light pink. The nuclei of the cells were crowded and atypical, with hyperchromasia. This study aimed to discuss the cytological features of ISMC or SMILE and emphasize that abnormal mucinous epithelial cells in HPV-positive patients should be carefully observed to avoid misdiagnosis of ISMC or SMILE.
