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

We discuss the rare case of a 47-year-old female with a history of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ of the cervix, who presents with a bowel obstruction secondary to a sigmoid colon mass confirmed to be SCC of cervical origin. SCC is one of the rare malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract, and may occur as either a primary or secondary lesion. Metastasis from the cervix to the gastrointestinal tract is a rare occurrence, and has only been described in a handful of case reports. The treatment for colonic metastatic tumor arising from cervical SCC remains controversial. Surgery and debulking are the primary treatment modalities, while the role for radiotherapy and chemotherapy remain ambiguous. Further study is required to compare the efficacy of different treatment regimens.
