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

Despite an often early diagnosis and effective initial surgical management, one third of adult granulosa cell tumors (aGCTs) eventually, and often repeatedly, recurs. Debulking surgery remains the preferred treatment modality for recurrent aGCT, although the risk of intraoperative complications increases with repeated laparotomy. Minimally invasive surgery may limit the risk of complications. We aim to share our initial experience with robotic debulking surgery for recurrent aGCT. Clinical and surgical data of patients with recurrent aGCT who underwent robotic cytoreductive surgery over a three-year period at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Between 2017 and 2020, three patients underwent robotic debulking surgery for recurrent aGCT at our institution. Complete cytoreduction was achieved in all patients. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported. This small pilot series at a single academic institution suggests that robot-assisted laparoscopy may be feasible and safe in selected patients with recurrent aGCT. A minimally invasive approach could reduce the complexity of successive surgeries for aGCT relapse.
