Extra-appendiceal low-grade mucinous neoplasm-like lesions: clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics.

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
aimsWe identified three extra-appendiceal low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN)-like lesions occurring in the absence of appendiceal involvement, raising uncertainty regarding their classification, biologic nature, and clinical significance.
methodsWe identified three cases of LAMN-like lesions arising in duplication cysts, anatomically separate from the appendix. These cases were evaluated by detailed histologic and immunohistochemical analysis and compared with other gastrointestinal duplication cysts diagnosed at the same institution. Whole-exome sequencing was performed in all three LAMN-like cases.
resultsAll three lesions demonstrated defining histologic features of LAMN, including low-grade mucinous epithelium with apical mucin, abundant luminal mucin, undulating or papillary architecture, obliteration of the lamina propria, effacement of the muscularis mucosae and mural fibrosis. Features of a background duplication cyst were at least focally present, and appendiceal involvement was absent in all cases. The epithelium showed an intestinal immunophenotype with strong CK20 and CDX2 expression and absent or minimal CK7 staining. Molecular analysis revealed activating KRAS or GNAS mutations in all three cases, including one case with co-occurring mutations, mirroring the molecular profile of conventional appendiceal LAMN.
conclusionsWe describe extra-appendiceal LAMN-like lesions that recapitulate the morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular features of appendiceal LAMN despite the absence of appendiceal involvement. These findings support the interpretation of these lesions as true neoplastic proliferations arising within non-lumen-communicating cystic epithelial compartments, such as duplication cysts. Recognition of this rare phenomenon is critical to avoid misclassification and may have implications for staging, surveillance, and clinical management analogous to appendiceal LAMN.
