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 nuclear protein of testis (NUT) carcinoma, also known as NUT midline carcinoma, is a rare subtype of squamous carcinoma known for its aggressive growth behaviour. It can form anywhere in the body. Although, it usually occurs along midline structures (head, neck, lungs). The authors present the first report of intrasellar NUT carcinoma with cavernous sinus infiltration in a 47-year-old patient. MRI showed an inhomogeneous, gadolinium-enhancing lesion with intra- and suprasellar growth, invasion of the cavernous sinus without clear differentiation from normal pituitary tissue. Given the lymphoma diagnosis in the frozen section and invasion of the cavernous sinus, the patient underwent endoscopic, transnasal, and transsphenoidal subtotal resection only. Local tumour and spinal metastases showed a good response to radio-chemotherapy. Despite combined radio-chemotherapy, the patient died of pulmonary insufficiency due to rapid progression of pulmonary metastasis 6 months after the initial diagnosis.
