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

Endodermal Sinus tumor is a rare malignant type of germ cell tumor (GCT). Primary endodermal sinus tumor, especially in the head of pancreas, is extremely rare. The case under consideration is of a 22 year old male who presented with pancreatic mass causing postprandial nausea and vomiting, and raised AFP levels. The biopsy of the mass revealed the endodermal sinus tumor, and the pancreatic origin was confirmed by a CT scan and a negative scrotal ultrasound. As the tumor was unresectable initially, a gastrojejunostomy was done to relieve the obstructive symptoms. Whipple procedure was performed two months after 4 cycles of BEP chemotherapy to remove the residual tumor in pancreas. It is crucial to highlight this uncommon case in order to increase surgeons' and oncologists' knowledge of the malignant extra-gonadal GCTs diagnosis and treatment.
