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

Demons syndrome is defined by hydrothorax and ascites associated with a benign genital tumor that resolves after resection of the tumor. However, Demons syndrome with pericardial effusion has never been reported. Intensive care unit-acquired weakness is a neurological sequela to sepsis/systemic inflammatory response syndrome, or multi-organ failure. A 47-year-old, nulligravid, Japanese woman, was transferred to our hospital for refractory heart failure and a ruptured ovarian tumor. She had an 11-cm left ovarian tumor with ascites, hydrothorax, and pericardial effusion; she was intubated for pulmonary hypertension and admitted to the intensive care unit for septic shock. Four days later, a left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed for Demons syndrome with pericardial effusion. The histological diagnosis indicated a serous cystadenoma with fibrotic changes. Following surgery, ventilator weaning was delayed due to intensive care unit-acquired weakness. The association between Demons syndrome and pericardial effusion should be recognized to ensure early treatment and for preventing sequalae from the disease.
