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
introductionWe present the rare case of a 29-year-old patient with uterine adenosarcoma who received fertility-sparing treatment, subsequently conceived spontaneously, and gave birth to a healthy infant. CASE: In August 2022, the nulliparous patient presented with acyclic uterine bleeding. Diagnostic hysteroscopy and targeted resection of a polyp located at the cervicouterine junction revealed uterine adenosarcoma without sarcomatous overgrowth (FIGO stage T1a). Imaging confirmed no residual tumor or metastasis. A fertility-sparing management strategy was chosen, avoiding hysterectomy but involving close oncological surveillance with quarterly MRI scans. During follow-up, a concurrent diagnosis of symptomatic endometriosis introduced therapeutic challenges. The patient spontaneously conceived in 2023 and delivered a healthy infant by cesarean section at term in 2024. Subsequent hysteroscopy and imaging in 2025 showed no evidence of recurrence, therefore fertility-preserving management was continued. PATIENT PERSPECTIVE: A short narrative of the patient's perspective on her initial diagnosis, possible fertility loss, and the emotional turmoil of pregnancy after uterine adenosarcoma is presented. DISCUSSION: Treating young patients diagnosed with uterine adenosarcoma poses a challenge to the treating physician due to the lack of guidelines and evidence regarding fertility-preserving treatment of this rare tumor. This report adds to the limited literature on successful pregnancy after uterine adenosarcoma and discusses indications and limitations of fertility-sparing treatment.
conclusionFertility preservation may be possible in selected early-stage uterine adenosarcoma cases without high-risk features such as sarcomatous overgrowth or myometrial invasion, with thorough counseling and strict follow-up. Further research is needed to develop standardized protocols and improve management in this context.
