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

Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma, one of the three most frequent cancers of the female reproductive system, primarily affects women who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal. Moreover, it is an epithelial cancer that develops in the endometrium, which is classified as either estrogen-dependent (type I) or non-estrogen-dependent (type II). Non-estrogen-dependent endometrial cancers include plasma cell carcinoma and undifferentiated/dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma. Undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma is a rare but aggressive endometrial epithelial cancer that lacks any histologic differentiation and is classified as a high-grade endometrial cancer. This case presents that a patient had uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma during perimenopausal hormone therapy, and the patient was treated with sequential estrogen-progestin treatment for 3 years. During that period, she did not undergo a follow-up examination for the last 2 years due to the pandemic. Undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma is a special type of endometrial cancer that is not hormone-dependent, and whether the occurrence of this case is related to perimenopausal hormone therapy needs to be verified by more evidence-based clinical cases and further studies.
