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

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus, often misdiagnosed due to its indolent progression and nonspecific clinical presentation. We report the case of a 49-year-old perimenopausal woman who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain. Pelvic ultrasound and MRI revealed a heterogeneous uterine mass. The patient underwent a total hysterectomy, and definitive histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of LGESS. This case underscores the importance of including LGESS in the differential diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal women. Early diagnosis and complete surgical excision remain the cornerstone of treatment, and long-term follow-up is crucial due to the risk of late recurrence.
