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

Krukenberg tumors are metastatic tumors of the ovaries, associated with poor outcomes. Most commonly, these tumors are of gastric origin. The diagnosis of Krukenberg tumors in pregnant patients is extremely rare and poses specific difficulties for clinicians. We report a case of a pregnant woman presenting with an unknown abdominal tumor. Through the use of magnetic resonance imaging, multiple differential diagnoses were proposed, including a malignant ovarian tumor. A cesarean section and explorative laparotomy were conducted, revealing Krukenberg metastases of a gastric tumor, discovered during intraoperative gastroscopy. Tumor resection with concomitant chemotherapy was conducted. The main aim of this paper was to evaluate whether earlier diagnosis seems possible in such cases. A thorough literature review was conducted, unfortunately revealing no reliable method for early detection. Furthermore, no consensus regarding diagnostics or therapy exists to date. Thus, more research should be conducted regarding this rare condition to offer recommendations regarding early detection, diagnostics, and therapeutic approaches.
