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

Medulloepithelioma is a rare and highly malignant tumor of infancy and early childhood, and classified as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor. Considering that most cases occur in the central nervous system, development in atypical sites associated with secondary comorbidities, such as peritoneal carcinomatosis, becomes an extremely rare association due to its high morbimortality. This study reports a rare case of peripheral medulloepithelioma with peritoneal carcinomatosis in an 11-year-old boy, with a 4-year history of intestinal constipation alternated with fecal incontinence, taken to the emergency room due to increasing abdominal pain and urinary retention. This report aims to contribute to a better understanding of this rare pathology, as well as assist in the establishment of early diagnosis and treatment.
