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

Colonic metastasis from ovarian cancer is extremely rare, with only seven reported cases. A 77-year-old woman who had previously undergone surgery for ovarian cancer was admitted to a local hospital with anal bleeding. Histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of adenocarcinoma. Colonoscopy revealed a descending colon tumor. The patient was diagnosed with Union for International Cancer Control T3N0M0 descending colon cancer or colon metastasis of the ovarian cancer. Laparoscopic left colectomy was performed; intraoperative frozen section diagnosis confirmed metastasis from ovarian cancer, and the absence of invasion to the serosal surface suggested hematogenous metastasis. This is the first case of colonic metastasis from ovarian cancer that was diagnosed using an intraoperative frozen section and laparoscopically treated.
