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

A 48-year-old woman was diagnosed with synchronous mixed clear cell carcinoma of ovarian origin and endometroid endometrial carcinoma after presenting with intermenstrual bleeding for 2 years prior. Shortly after diagnosis she became progressively unwell requiring intensive care unit admission with respiratory failure, pleural effusions and pulmonary emboli. Following a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, laparotomy and emergency percutaneous thrombectomy, she remained critically unwell and was deemed not safe for chemotherapy. Given a high index of suspicion for Lynch syndrome, the patient was treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab and achieved a complete response. Lynch syndrome was subsequently confirmed through germline genetic testing. The patient made an excellent recovery and remains disease-free at 23 months.
