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

rationaleAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an endocrine malignancy with poor prognosis, which commonly arises in a sporadic manner, but may also become a part of a familial syndrome. ACC rarely arises simultaneously with other malignant tumors. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of a 29-year-old woman with ACC synchronously followed by an ovarian malignant mixed germ cell tumor. We describe the clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings and review the English literatures. So far, as we know, the patient presented here is the first case with synchronous malignant tumors of the adrenal gland and ovary. DIAGNOSES: She was diagnosed with ovarian malignant mixed germ cell tumor with admixture of dysgerminoma and yolk sac tumor after ACC.

interventionsThe left adrenal tumor was resected laparoscopically on April 28, 2017. A total laparoscopic hysterectomy with unilateral (right) adnexectomy was performed on November 11, 2017. OUTCOMES: Up to now, illness condition has not progressed. Patient is free of disease at 3 months of follow-up. LESSONS: This is the first report in English literature about coexistence of ACC with ovarian malignant mixed germ cell tumor and the sixteenth case that presents a synchronous tumor associated with a sporadic ACC. This case reminds us that a comprehensive examination of patients with ACC is necessary to identify a possible synchronous tumor.
