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

objectiveThis study reports a rare case of mixed ovarian carcinoma composed of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) arising from endometriosis, and provides a systematic review of the relevant literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old female presented with bilateral ovarian cystic lesions (4.6 cm on the left, 9.6 cm on the right) and a mural nodule in the right ovarian cyst. Serum tumor markers were CA125 57.50 U/mL and CA19-9 6.74 U/mL. The patient underwent total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and appendectomy. Histopathological examination revealed a mixed carcinoma of the right ovary composed of SCC and HGSC, with adjacent serous borderline tumor and endometriotic cyst. The left ovary showed a serous borderline tumor with endometriosis. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified two distinct TP53 mutations: a missense mutation in the HGSC component and a splice-site mutation in the SCC component. The patient received six cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy. Within two months after completing the treatment, tumor markers had normalized and no recurrence was detected.

methodsWe describe a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with stage IA mixed ovarian carcinoma (SCC and HGSC), in which two distinct TP53 gene mutations were identified. A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases.

resultsA total of eight published cases of ovarian mixed carcinoma containing a squamous component were identified. Of these, five originated from endometriosis and one from a mature cystic teratoma. Histologically, five cases were endometrioid adenocarcinoma with squamous differentiation, while others included clear cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and HGSC (the present case), each admixed with SCC components.

conclusionThis is the first reported case of ovarian HGSC coexisting with SCC. Given its extreme rarity, standardized treatment strategies have not yet been established.
