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

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) consists of a spectrum of diseases, including hydatidiform moles, invasive mole, metastatic mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT). GTD is a relatively uncommon disease occurring in women of reproductive age, with high cure rates. Primary treatment of hydatidiform moles includes uterine evacuation, followed by close monitoring of serial hCG levels to detect for post-molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). In patients with GTN, the main therapy consists of chemotherapy, although some surgical procedures are important in selected patients to achieve curing. Hysterectomy is the mainstay treatment for PSTT or ETT and may be considered in selected patients for management of hydatidiform mole and malignant GTN especially in chemoresistant disease. Resection of metastatic lesions such as in the lung or brain can be considered in selected patients with isolated chemoresistant tumour. Surgical treatment of GTD will be discussed in this chapter.
