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

backgroundSynchronous endometrioid endometrial and ovarian carcinomas (SEEOCs) represent a small yet clinically significant entity of gynecological malignancies. Their clinicopathological correlations, immunohistochemical profiles, and prognosis have not been well established.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 50 SEEOC cases identified among 1160 patients with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma at a single institution. Clinicopathological parameters, including immunohistochemical profiles, were evaluated. Progression-free survival (PFS) was analyzed, with Kaplan-Meier analysis performed to identify significant prognostic factors.

resultsDeficient mismatch repair (dMMR) was detected in 36.1% of SEEOC cases and mutant p53 expression in 13.2%. PD-L1 (22C3) positivity was observed in 63.0% cases, and HER2 expression in 75.0%. Factors associated with worse PFS included poor tumor differentiation, > 50% myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), lymph node metastasis, and advanced 2023 FIGO stage. Kaplan-Meier pairwise comparisons revealed that patients with focal LVSI had a PFS comparable to that of patients with substantial LVSI. Five patients were classified as FIGO IA3 stage. All patients at IA3 stage were premenopausal, showed no MELF (microcystic, elongated, and fragmented) invasion pattern, and none had recurrence.

conclusionsThese findings support the prognostic significance of poor tumor differentiation, > 50% myometrial invasion, LVSI, lymph node metastasis, and 2023 FIGO staging system in SEEOCs. The high rates of dMMR, HER2, and PD-L1 positivity in SEEOCs suggest potential for targeted therapies in future therapeutic strategies.
