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 adenosarcoma (MA) is a rare low-grade malignant tumor. It is characterized by benign glandular epithelium and malignant sarcomatous stromal components. This tumor commonly arises in the uterine corpus. Primary ovarian MA is uncommon and typically presents as a unilateral lesion (FIGO stages I-III). However, bilateral ovarian involvement coupled with extensive metastasis in ovarian adenosarcoma has not been previously reported. Case presentation: This article reports a rare case of bilateral primary ovarian adenosarcoma with extensive metastasis and lymphovascular invasion (LVI). Histopathological examination revealed a biphasic tumor composed of proliferative glands and stroma. The glandular epithelium was separated by abundant stromal components, forming a lobulated architecture resembling a breast phyllodes tumor. The glandular epithelial cells exhibited a single-layered columnar morphology with bland cytological features. In contrast, the stromal cells displayed a spindle-shaped morphology, arranged densely around spiral artery-like vessels. These stromal cells showed mild atypia with visible mitotic figures. Notably, periglandular stromal condensation formed a characteristic "cuff-like" pattern. Extensive metastases were identified in multiple sites: the subumbilical region, intestinal tract, omentum, and distal segment of the right ureter. Significantly, tumor emboli were detected within vascular channels beneath the rectal serosa. Molecular analysis revealed novel findings. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified a GNAQ mutation, previously unreported in this tumor type. Additionally, immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis confirmed positive PD-L1 expression. Finally, the patient received a comprehensive treatment regimen comprising radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Conclusion: We describe a unique case of ovarian adenosarcoma presenting with bilateral ovarian involvement, manifesting at the more advanced stage IIIC, notably in the absence of sarcomatous overgrowth (SO). Moreover, we report for the first time the presence of LVI and the
