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

rationaleTeratomas, which most frequently affect adult females, are the most common type of germ cell tumor, it always comprises derivatives of at least 2 germ layers. The most common site of primary teratomas is the ovary. Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs), which are exceedingly rare in adults, are generally found in newborns or children. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 39-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a 1-year history of gradually aggravated difficulty in micturition and defecation, and a tumor in her right buttock present since birth. Appropriate preoperative examinations showed a large (15.6 cm × 12.2 cm × 30.0 cm) multicystic SCT. DIAGNOSES: Histologic examination confirmed a mucinous tumor arising in a giant SCT.

interventionsAbdominoperineal rectal resection was performed. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well and was discharged on day 33 of admission. LESSONS: We report the first case of a mucinous tumor arising in an SCT, in which the teratoma presented mature tissue elements derived only from the endodermal germ layer (keratinous debris).
