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

objectiveThis report presents a rare case involving an extreme epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, in which a specific type of sarcoma developed heterochronically as a recurrence of endometrioid carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A female in her 50's presented with abnormal genital bleeding, and an endometrial biopsy revealed endometrioid carcinoma. Following the diagnosis of stage IA endometrioid carcinoma according to the 2008 classification system of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, a robot-assisted simple hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and sentinel lymph node navigation surgery were performed. Six months postoperatively, a tumor mass developed in the pelvis. A transrectal needle biopsy revealed spindle cell proliferation, and pelvic tumor resection was conducted for diagnostic therapy. The patient received no adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy after the second surgery and remained free of tumor recurrence for 8 months. The resected yellowish solid tumor mass, measuring 16 × 12 × 9 cm, exhibited hemorrhage, necrosis, and cystic degeneration and was composed of fascicular proliferation of spindle tumor cells showing nuclear pleomorphism and frequent mitotic figures within a myxoid and inflammatory stroma. No epithelial component or organoid patterns were observed. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for factor XIIIa, CD10, and cyclin D1, but negative for keratins (AE1/AE3 and CAM5.2) and other specific markers, supporting a diagnosis of high-grade myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS).

conclusionGenomic analysis revealed identical mutations in PTEN, PIK3R1, CDKN2 A, and TP53 in both the primary uterine endometrioid carcinoma and heterochronic pelvic MIFS. An integrative approach involving histology, immunohistochemistry, and genomic analysis is critical for elucidating the pathogenesis of rare pelvic and uterine tumors.
