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

rationaleHepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) of the fallopian tubes is a rare malignant tumor in the female reproductive system. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 81-year-old Chinese woman presented with an elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level. DIAGNOSIS: Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan revealed a mass of approximately 47 × 27 mm located in the right adnexa. The tumor was diagnosed as a HAC arising from fallopian tube by immunohistochemical and histochemical technique.

interventionsThis patient underwent surgical treatment including a bilateral adnexectomy and appendectomy. In addition, the patient underwent 5 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy. OUTCOMES: The disease has recurred approximately six months after surgery and therefore, this patient will continue to be observed. LESSONS: Up to this point, only 4 known cases of HAC originating in fallopian tube have been published in the English literature. Further studies are needed to better understand the clinical characteristics, the prognosis, and the pathological mechanism of HAC development in the fallopian tubes.
