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

introductionGallbladder cancer commonly spreads by direct extension to the liver and adjacent organs of the gastrointestinal tract. Ovarian metastases by biliary origin, though known, are a very uncommon finding. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a rare metastatic localization by gallbladder cancer, Krukenberg tumor mimicking a primitive ovarian cancer. A comprehensive critical review was performed and suggested strategies were analyzed. DISCUSSION: The prognosis of ovarian metastastes by biliary origin is very poor with an overall survival estimated at around 6 months. The variable clinical presentation, radiology and serum markers make the appropriate histological diagnosis mandatory.

conclusionThe presence of Krukenberg tumor should be considered in the work-up of gallbladder cancer.
