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

Synchronous mucinous metaplasia and neoplasia of the female genital tract (SMMN-FGT) is a rare disorder defined as mucinous lesions affecting at least two sites in the female genital tract. We report a case of SMMN-FGT in a Caucasian 65-year-old patient with a right adnexal mass. The patient underwent radical surgery and histological examination showed mucinous ovarian carcinoma combined with mucinous metaplasia of the fallopian tube. The carcinomatous infiltration also affected the left ovary, peritoneum, and omentum. Molecular analysis revealed a shared STK11 mutation in both the ovarian carcinoma and tubal metaplasia, and other mutations (including KRAS) that differed between these tissues. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab. As there is limited experience with SMMN-FGT, standard diagnostic and treatment protocols have not yet been established. Although association with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) was described, our patient had no clinical signs of PJS and the detected STK11 mutation was likely somatic.
