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

backgroundPrimary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma (PPCCC) is an exceptionally rare malignancy that closely resembles gynecologic epithelial cancers clinically and histologically. Its pathogenesis is poorly understood, with possible origins from Müllerian metaplasia or malignant transformation of endometriosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old woman with no history of endometriosis or hormone therapy presented with acute lower abdominal pain. Imaging revealed a pelvic mass and a lesion in the pancreatic tail. The patient underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy. Intraoperatively, the pelvic mass was located in the peritoneum, while the gynecologic organs appeared grossly normal. Histopathologic examination of the pelvic, pancreatic, and splenic lesions revealed identical features of clear cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated positivity for PAX8, CK7, and HNF1β, with loss of MSH2 and MSH6. Next-generation sequencing revealed ARID1A loss and somatic PIK3CA mutations. No primary ovarian, endometrial, or renal tumor was detected, supporting a diagnosis of primary peritoneal clear cell carcinoma with metastases to the pancreas and spleen.

conclusionsThis case highlights the diagnostic challenges of PPCCC and offers valuable insights into the clinical and pathological spectrum of this underrecognized malignancy.
