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

backgroundDesmoplastic small-round-cell tumor (DSRCT) is an extremely rare and highly aggressive malignancy. It is of yet unclear origin, but it is assumed to be of a mesothelial origin based on its tendency for widespread metastasis in serosal linings. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we describe a young female who presented with bilateral ovarian masses that mimicked the classic clinical picture of ovarian cancer. The patient had a cytoreductive surgery done in the form of total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, pelvic peritonectomy, low para-aortic and bilateral iliac lymphadenectomy. Postoperative course was smooth with no adverse events. The final pathology report revealed desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor. Afterwards, the patient was referred to medical oncologist to receive her adjuvant therapy.

conclusionsDSRCT is still an unknown disease to us given the limited number of cases and poor survival. Given the lack of clear guidelines, treatment is offered based on the best available evidence and the collaborative effort of a multi-disciplinary team.
