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

objectiveTo identify distinctive 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computer tomography (CT) features of gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (GAS) that differentiate it from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (UEA), as well as to correlate these findings with pathological characteristics.

methodsPatients treated between December 2018 and December 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. The study included 12 GAS, 48 SCC, and 30 UEA cases. Evaluated parameters included tumor morphology, cystic components, uterine cavity fluid, N/M staging, tumor diameter, the cervical lesion maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and the tumor-to-liver maximum standardized uptake ratio (T/L SUVmax).

resultsGAS predominantly exhibited diffuse infiltrative growth (11/12), in contrast to mass-like growth observed in SCC (37/48) and UEA (24/30) (both

conclusionThe clinical characteristics of GAS include infiltrative tumor growth, fluid accumulation in the uterine cavity, frequent formation of microcystic or macrocystic components, peritoneal metastasis, and elevated CA19-9 levels. In this cohort, SUVmax and T/L SUVmax values in GAS were significantly lower than those observed in SCC and UEA.
