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

Cancers of unknown primary (CUP) origin account for 2-3 % of all malignancies in Germany and represent a heterogeneous, often aggressive and clinically challenging group of tumors with early metastatic dissemination for which a standardized diagnostic work-up initially fails to identify the primary site of origin at the time of diagnosis. This article reviews the options and challenges of tissue-based conventional as well as molecular diagnostic procedures to categorize this heterogeneous group of neoplasms. The role of pathology in the diagnostics of CUP syndrome is described as part of a multidisciplinary effort involving oncologists, surgeons and radiologists with the ultimate goal of assisting clinical reasoning and decision-making.
