Vaginal yolk sac tumors in infants and children: A case report and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A vaginal yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare malignant germ cell tumor for infants and children, and it has been >50 years since the first case was reported. The treatment strategy has changed markedly in the past 50 years, from radical surgical treatment to conservative surgery combined with chemotherapy, and then to combined chemotherapy alone. The present study reports the case of a primary vaginal YST in a 13-month-old girl that was successfully treated by tumor resection combined with chemotherapy. The clinical symptoms, imaging features and treatment characteristics are described in detail, as well as the postoperative treatment. There was no local recurrence or metastasis for the 2 years of follow-up to date. A literature review was also conducted to investigate the clinicopathological features, treatment and prognosis of this tumor. Overall, surgery combined with bleomycin, etoposide and carboplatin combination chemotherapy can be an effective option for vaginal YST.
