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 smooth muscle tumour of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) is a rare and diagnostically challenging entity, lying on the spectrum between benign leiomyomas and malignant leiomyosarcomas. Its unpredictable biological behaviour and potential for metastasis and progression to leiomyosarcoma necessitate surgical removal and long-term surveillance for late recurrence and malignant transformation. We present a case of uterine STUMP in a 49-year-old woman with a large uterine mass exhibiting suspicious magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features preoperatively. She underwent a hysterectomy with histological confirmation of STUMP. Through radiologic-pathologic correlation, we highlight key MRI features that can suggest the diagnosis of STUMP and aid in differentiating it from benign leiomyomas. While differentiating STUMP from leiomyosarcoma on imaging remains challenging due to its rarity and overlapping imaging characteristics, imaging plays a crucial role in detecting complications and guiding follow-up. Multidisciplinary management in tertiary centres with gynaecologic oncology expertise is essential for comprehensive patient care.
