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

objectiveMixed sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary contain combinations of granulosa cell tumor components-either adult or juvenile subtypes-and/or Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor elements. The objective of this study is to evaluate survival outcomes in recurrent mixed sex cord-stromal tumors.

methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of recurrent mixed ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors identified through the MD Anderson Rare Gynecologic Malignancy Registry between 2000 and 2025. Comparative cohorts with recurrent, histologically uniform adult granulosa cell tumors, juvenile granulosa cell tumors, and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors were included. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared using descriptive statistics. Progression-free survival after first recurrence and overall survival from first recurrence were assessed using Kaplan-Meier methods and compared using log-rank tests.

resultsSixteen patients with recurrent mixed ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors were identified: 6 (37.5%) with adult granulosa cell plus Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, 4 (25%) with juvenile granulosa cell plus Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, and 6 (37.5%) with adult plus juvenile granulosa cell tumors. When comparing adult granulosa cell tumors to adult plus juvenile granulosa cell tumors, significant differences in median progression-free survival-2 (21.2 vs 8.7 months, p = .03) and overall survival (181.9 vs 83.8 months, p = .001) were observed. No significant differences in progression-free survival-2 (p = .7) or overall survival (p = .8) were noted between juvenile granulosa cell tumors and adult plus juvenile granulosa cell tumors. Among tumors with molecular testing results, 25% (1 of 4) of adult plus juvenile granulosa cell tumors, 25% (1 of 4) of adult granulosa cell plus Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, and 33% (1 of 3) of juvenile granulosa cell plus Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors were positive for the c.C402G FOXL2 mutation.

conclusionsRecurrent adult plus juvenile granulosa cell tumors may exhibit more aggressive clinical behavior than uniform adult granulosa cell tumors, aligning more closely with juvenile granulosa cell tumors in recurrence outcomes.
