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: Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is a rare, aggressive uterine malignancy with poor prognosis due to its early hematogenous spread, typically to the lungs and liver, and high recurrence rate. Pancreatic metastases are exceptionally rare, and isolated involvement of the pancreas is even more uncommon. Case: An 81-year-old patient was admitted after an unwitnessed fall and new neurologic symptoms, later diagnosed as a cerebellar stroke. Abdominopelvic imaging for urinary retention revealed a 9.9 × 15.1 × 18.8 - cm heterogeneous uterine mass and a 1.9-cm hypoenhancing lesion in the pancreatic head. Pelvic MRI findings suggested uLMS. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed the pancreatic lesion as metastatic leiomyosarcoma. No other sites of metastatic disease were found. Due to her extensive comorbidities and limited performance status, the patient ultimately elected for hospice care after being thoroughly counseled on her treatment options and multidisciplinary consultation. Conclusion: This case illustrates a rare instance of isolated pancreatic metastasis from primary uLMS, a presentation that can mimic primary pancreatic cancer. It emphasizes the need for a broad differential diagnosis, histologic confirmation, and individualized treatment planning in medically complex patients.
