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

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex-cord tumors (UTROSCT) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms with low malignant potential and polyphenotypic immunoprofiles. A 38-year-old nullipara presented with menorrhagia; trans-vaginal ultrasound revealed a 26-mm, richly vascular submucosal mass. Complete hysteroscopic excision was achieved without residual disease. Microscopy showed anastomosing cords, hollow tubules and bland spindled cells (0-1 mitosis/10 HPF). Immunohistochemistry demonstrated diffuse AE1/3, CD56, WT-1 and synaptophysin positivity, while inhibin-α, calretinin and ER/PR were negative; desmin highlighted entrapped myometrium. Ki-67 index was ~5%. Break-apart FISH and next-generation sequencing (141-gene solid-tumor panel) disclosed no pathogenic fusions involving ESR1, GREB1, NCOA2/3 or NR4A3, nor mutations in TP53, BRCA1/2 or mismatch-repair genes, consistent with the fusion-negative UTROSCT subset (~30-45% of cases). At 20 months the patient is disease-free with regular menses and intact fertility. We review diagnostic clues, differential diagnoses, molecular taxonomy and fertility-sparing strategies, underscoring the value of comprehensive genomic profiling for accurate classification and prognostication of this uncommon uterine tumor.
