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

Introduction: Malignant transformation of endometriosis is rare and most commonly involves the ovary; transformation from paraurethral endometriosis is exceedingly rare. Case Presentation: A 73-year-old postmenopausal woman with prior ovarian endometrioma presented with dysuria and voiding difficulty. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed a paraurethral mass at the bladder neck, whereas cystoscopy and urine cytology were normal. Transvaginal biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma; however, immunohistochemistry did not identify the primary site. After radical cystectomy with urethrectomy and partial vaginectomy, histopathology showed endometrioid carcinoma arising from paraurethral endometriosis with lymph node metastasis. Comprehensive genomic profiling identified alterations consistent with endometrioid/Müllerian-type carcinoma and compatible with endometriosis-associated carcinogenesis. Despite chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, the patient died approximately 16 months after diagnosis. Conclusion: Paraurethral endometrioid carcinoma is exceptionally rare. Accurate diagnosis relies on careful correlation of imaging with histopathology, while comprehensive genomic profiling provides corroborative molecular evidence.
