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

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN) in end-stage renal failure (ESRF) has not been reported. We reported an unprecedented case of GTN in ESRF from an antecedent partial mole. She had total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy following the diagnosis as the disease was confined to the uterus. A histopathological examination confirmed an invasive mole. Consequently, she received a total of four cycles of single-agent intravenous actinomycin D as she was at low risk. Despite initial response, her disease metastasised to her right kidney for which radiotherapy was given, followed by a total of 33 doses of weekly paclitaxel. She responded to the chemotherapy and currently remains in remission. The choice of chemotherapy and their side effects due to ESRF remain the main challenges in her management. Total hysterectomy should be considered as the first-line treatment for a hydatidiform mole to prevent GTN. A multidisciplinary approach is important to optimise the efficacy of the treatment with minimal compromise of her safety.
