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 mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare and biologically aggressive subtype of endometrial carcinoma, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) are typically absent or exhibit very low expression in this type of cancer. The cornerstone of treatment is still surgical resection, frequently in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. There is currently disagreement over the optimal therapeutic regimen. Case presentation: A 60-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with vaginal bleeding as the initial symptom. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a uterine mass, and postoperative histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma of the uterus. This case demonstrates dual ER/PR positivity, representing the first reported instance of this rare clinical subtype. Conclusion: This study aims to enhance clinicians' recognition and management of uterine mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma. MLA with hormone receptor expression may exhibit distinct biological behavior. Future studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up are needed to explore whether these tumors could represent a candidate for endocrine-based therapeutic approaches.
