Morular Metaplasia in Fundic Gland Polyps-A Case Report of a Rare Finding in a Common Lesion.

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.
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: Morular metaplasia is a phenomenon described in neoplasms of various sites, including endometrioid neoplasms of the uterus and colonic tubular adenomas. Although of questionable biological significance, they may be confused with squamous differentiation/neoplasia or neuroendocrine lesions. Case Presentation: A 34 year-old female patient on proton-pump inhibitor therapy underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy for evaluation of bloating and reflux-type symptoms, which revealed three mucosal polyps within the proximal stomach. Microscopic examination showed conventional fundic gland polyps with foci of squamoid nests of whorled cells. These cells were positive for CDX2, demonstrated abnormal beta-catenin staining, and were negative for neuroendocrine markers. The diagnosis is fundic gland polyps with morular metaplasia. Conclusion: This case expands the types of lesions in which morular metaplasia may be identified, particularly in the setting of lesions with abnormalities of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway protein expression, and raises awareness of the finding that may be confused with neoplastic lesions.
