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

Ovarian neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of tumors with varying incidence in the general population. The most common are the surface epithelial tumors which include transitional cell tumors. Transitional cell tumors include both transitional cell carcinoma and Brenner tumor. The vast majority of Brenner tumors are benign, often incidental findings; however, malignant Brenner tumors (MBT) do occasionally occur. MBT present similarly to other ovarian neoplasms with abdominal pain and bulk symptoms. On imaging, these tumors demonstrate nonspecific findings. Microscopically, they demonstrate areas of conventional benign Brenner tumor juxtaposed with regions of frank malignancy showing marked cytologic atypia and infiltration. There is no consistent tumor marker for these tumors, but CA-125, CA 72-4 and SCC have been reported in singular instances. Tumors express several immunohistochemical markers of urothelial differentiation including uroplakin III, thrombomodulin, GATA3, p63, as well as cytokeratin 7. The primary treatment modality is surgical excision. Due to their rarity, the precise role and regimen of adjuvant chemo-radiation therapy for MBT has not been established. We herein review a case of MBT with emphasis on primary treatment and treatment of recurrent disease, including the use of adjuvant pelvic radiation, discuss the current state of the literature and standards of practice regarding this malignancy.
