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

Managing G2 endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma without progesterone receptor (PR) expression presents significant challenges, particularly when considering fertility preservation. Grade 2 tumors fall into an area of uncertainty within fertility-sparing strategies, making treatment decisions complex and requiring careful individualization. This case report describes a 41-year-old patient who, despite PR and PE negativity, responded to conservative management with hysteroscopic resection, a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device, metformin, and later megestrol, achieving complete histological remission in 15 months. The difficulty in managing G2 tumors lies in their variable behavior, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach, strict monitoring, and adaptability based on treatment response. This case underscores that, although fertility preservation in PR-negative G2 tumors remains challenging, it is feasible in highly selected cases. The evolving literature suggests that alternative strategies, such as immune modulation and aromatase inhibitors, may further expand options. Individualized management remains crucial, balancing oncological safety with reproductive goals through continuous reassessment and engagement with emerging therapeutic evidence.
