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

Vaginal paraganglioma (VP), usually solitary and primary, is a rare adrenal type paraganglioma derived from the anterior neural crest, and can be classified as a functional or non-functional tumor. Only 10 cases of VP have been reported since 1955. Herein, we report an unusual case of a 39-year-old female VP patient with symptoms of hypercatecholaminism and a family history of hypertension. After preoperative control of blood pressure with an alpha-receptor blocker, laparoscopic surgery was performed. The blood pressure fluctuated after touching the tumor intraoperatively, and the tumor was successfully and completely removed under anesthesia by surgery. Postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis. The clinical characteristics, auxiliary examination, morphological and pathological immunohistochemical characteristics, and perioperative treatment of VP are analyzed, and the literature of the previous 10 cases is reviewed, so as to help further understand VP and provide clinical guidance.
