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

An elderly woman was admitted to the hospital with generalised abdominal pain and bowel obstruction symptoms in a background of renal cell carcinoma and cervical cancer. Investigations showed a degree of gastric outlet obstruction with mild distension of the small bowel loops with no lead point seen and a raised alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy (OGD) showed a stricture at D1/D2; therefore, an enteric stent was inserted. Biopsies showed metastatic cervical cancer. A few cases of metastatic cervical cancer to the duodenum have been reported. Obstructive bowel symptoms in the background of cervical cancer should raise the possibility of metastases in future practice.
