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

backgroundParagangliomas and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are uncommon neuroendocrine tumors with ubiquitous distribution. Malignant paraganglioma is a relatively rare entity. We report the treatment and pathological characteristics of a patient with malignant paraganglioma, and summarize the latest advances in the treatment of malignant paraganglioma based on a literature review. CASE SUMMARY: A 45-year-old Chinese woman presented to the hospital due to pain in the waist (right side) and right buttock, and was diagnosed as malignant paraganglioma after the placement of ureteral stent, implantation of ileus catheter, and transvaginal removal of the vaginal mass. After relief of intestinal obstruction, the patient received intravenous chemotherapy and peritoneal perfusion chemotherapy. Although her pelvic mass disease was stable, she developed multiple liver metastases and bone metastases. Due to the development of spinal cord compression, she underwent orthopedic surgery, followed by radiotherapy, and molecular targeted therapy with apatinib, but with poor disease control.

conclusionClinical management of paraganglioma is challenging for endocrinologists and oncologists. Prospective studies are required to develop standardized therapeutic strategies for malignant paragangliomas.
