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

backgroundSertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare sex-cord stromal tumors of the ovary that can present with a variety of histological elements, which may complicate diagnosis and treatment. CASE: A 40-year-old female presenting with pelvic pain is found to have a large complex right adnexal mass and elevated alpha-fetoprotein. The mass was diagnosed as a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with heterologous elements including carcinoid and hepatoid components. She was treated with surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and remains clear of disease.

conclusionPrognostic indicators for Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors include degree and type of heterologous element differentiation. Thorough characterization of such elements is crucial for adequate diagnosis and treatment.
