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

Background: Müllerian papilloma is a rare benign genital tract tumor, and its malignant transformation is extremely rare. Due to its complex and diverse pathological morphological manifestations, it is prone to misdiagnosis. Methods: We reported the malignant transformation of Müllerian papilloma into endometrioid carcinoma in two young girls, along with their pathological results. For the first time, we combined next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to explore the molecular characteristics. Results: The two cases of malignant transformation into endometrioid adenocarcinoma exhibited similar pathological morphology and immunohistochemical (IHC) markers. Morphologically, they presented complex and diverse features. The benign areas showed a mild papillary structure, while the malignant areas displayed complex papillary branches, cribriform patterns, and solid structures, accompanied by hemorrhage, necrosis, and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration. In terms of IHC, CK7 and EMA were either focally positive or diffusely positive; Vimentin, P16, and SALL-4 were negatively expressed; P53 showed wild-type expression; the ki67 proliferation index was 35-45%. Subsequent sequencing revealed a low tumor mutation burden and stable microsatellites. However, three novel fusion genes were identified. Conclusion: The malignant transformation of Müllerian papilloma is extremely rare, with complex and diverse morphological manifestations. High vigilance is required during diagnosis to avoid confusion with sarcomas. This tumor has a low tumor mutation burden and stable microsatellites, and the exact mechanism of malignant transformation requires further investigation.
