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

Adenomyotic cysts are small cysts with a diameter of <5 mm, usually containing hemorrhagic material. The present study reported on a patient with a large adenomyotic cyst with abnormally high serum levels of CA19-9 (>1,000 U/ml) and CA125 (642 U/ml) and a complaint of pelvic pain. MRI scans were critical in diagnosing the case. Adhering to the principle of tumor-free implantation, a laparotomy was performed. After the operation, six weeks were required to normalize the serum level of CA19-9 and four weeks for CA125. Elevated tumor markers are frequently observed in malignancies, but the outcome reported in the present case was a benign lesion and the prognosis was favorable. In the present case, it was unusual that CA19-9 was elevated in addition to CA125, as it is commonly reported that only CA125 is elevated in cases of large adenomyotic cyst.
