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 adenosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor characterized by a biphasic pattern consisting of benign epithelial components and sarcomatous stroma. The subtype with sarcomatous overgrowth is more aggressive and poses significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and management. We report the case of a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with left inguinal stabbing pain for half a month. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed multiple nodules in the myometrium and a cystic-solid mass in the left adnexal region (65 mm × 46 mm). The patient was initially admitted with a presumptive diagnosis of "teratoma" and "uterine fibroids." Postoperative histopathological examination of the total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy confirmed uterine adenosarcoma with hemorrhage and focal osseous metaplasia. After eight months of routine postoperative chemotherapy, chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated pulmonary metastases. Genetic testing of the tumor tissue did not identify any mutations or gene fusions of clinical significance. Conclusion: This case highlights the complexity and diagnostic challenges of uterine adenosarcoma in clinicopathological practice. Sarcomatous overgrowth and myometrial invasion are important adverse prognostic factors. No common driver gene mutations were detected in the tumor tissue of this patient, suggesting that tumorigenesis may involve more complex epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, which warrant further investigation.
