Chondroid and Osseous Metaplasia of the Endometrium: A Tale of Two Rare Mesenchymal Metaplasia.
Article in Gynecology and minimally invasive therapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mesenchymal metaplasia of the endometrium is a rare phenomenon, characterized by the nonneoplastic cytomorphologic transformation of the uterine endometrial lining to ectopic bone/cartilage/fat/smooth muscle tissue/synovial tissue in the endometrium. Osseous metaplasia has an estimated incidence of 3/10,000, with around 100 cases documented in the literature. Most of the cases, it occurs following a pregnancy/abortion. The two most acceptable theories to account for its origin are first, bone metaplasia occurs from fetal bones that continue to develop leading to ossification, and second, multipotent stromal cells developing into chondroblasts/osteoblasts. Several factors play a role in the pathogenesis namely chronic endometritis, pyometra, tuberculosis, hyperkalcemia, etc., An accurate diagnosis of this lesion is crucial for surgical pathologists, as potential misdiagnosis as a malignant mixed Müllerian tumor, could result in overzealous treatment for a completely benign entity.
