Case report: Unpredictable nature of tubal cancer.

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.
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
introductionPrimary tubal cancer is very rare, most are diagnosed intra and post operatively. Histopathology is vital in determining the cancer origin. Here we present a case of fallopian tube cancer with clinical presentation mimicking endometrial origin. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 74-year old patient came with complaints of intermittent post-menopausal bleeding and pelvic pain. The patient had several investigations using Ultrasonography, Hysteroscopy-guided biopsy, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Pre-operative diagnosis was endometrial cancer based on histopathology of endometrial biopsy during hysteroscopy. Explorative laparotomy, total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection were then performed, and the tumor samples were sent to the histopathology laboratory. It was found that the post-operative diagnosis was in fact primary fallopian tube cancer stage IIB.
conclusionFor patients with gynecological malignancies, rare cases such as fallopian tube cancer should never be overlooked as a differential diagnosis.
