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

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the Bartholins gland, first described by Klob in 1864, is a rare form of vulvar cancer comprising approximately 2-7% of all invasive vulvar lesions (Cardosi, 2001). Treatment consists of excision followed by radiation therapy (Cardosi, 2001; Anaf, 1999; Barcellini, 2020). Progression is indolent with later recurrence and metastases in comparison to other forms of vulvar cancer (Yang, 2006). Resection remains the gold standard for treatment followed by radiation therapy if margins are positive (Cardosi, 2001; Yang, 2006; Chang et al., 2019). We present a case of ACC of the Bartholins gland that underwent radical vulvectomy and Surgisis graft placement due to the extent of disease resection. Radiation therapy was then pursued due to positive margins with no wound breakdown despite this being the most common complication of vulvectomy with or without radiation therapy (Leminen et al., 2000). To our knowledge this is only the second case of Cook Biodesign graft placement after vulvectomy and first case of subsequent local radiation therapy to the area.
