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

Collision tumours of the uterine cervix are extremely uncommon with exact incidence not known. Unlike squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma that are known to coexist, small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) is rarely documented with other histological types in the cervix. We report such rare case of a collision tumour in cervix displaying dual histological component of SCNEC and SCC in a 36-year-old woman. The case is being presented because of its rarity and represents a unique and hitherto seldom-reported combination of two malignant tumours with distinct and often contrasting epidemiology, histology and prognosis coexisting in the same patient.
