A Rare Case of Small-Cell Neuroendocrine Cancer of the Cervix: An Unexpected Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Cervical cancer is a significant healthcare problem worldwide, especially in developing countries. It is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Small-cell neuroendocrine cancer of the cervix (SCNCC) accounts for about 1-3% of all cervical cancers. In this report, we present a case of a patient with SCNCC, whose disease had metastasized to the lungs even without an obvious growth in the cervix. A 54-year-old multiparous woman presented with post-menopausal bleeding for 10 days; she had a history of a similar episode in the past. Examination revealed an erythematous posterior cervix and upper vagina without any obvious growth. Histopathology showed SCNCC on the biopsy specimen. Following further investigations, the stage assigned was IVB, and she was started on chemotherapy. SCNCC is an extremely rare but highly aggressive type of cervical cancer and it requires a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach for an optimal standard of care.
