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

Paediatric germ cell tumours (GCT) are rare tumours and are unique because of varied clinical presentation and locations. Yolk sac tumour is the predominant malignant histology and a serum marker; alpha fetoprotein is used to see treatment response and recurrent disease. It is extremely rare to find a retroperitoneal GCT with tumour thrombus extending up to the cavo-atrial region with involvement of the hepatic veins. We report a case of retroperitoneal yolk sac tumour (RPYST) with extension to the liver and right adrenal gland along with tumour thrombus in the inferior vena cava and in the right and middle hepatic veins. The child was operated after satisfactory response to chemotherapy. Excision of the tumour along with the right adrenal gland and around 5 cm of retro-hepatic caval resection was done. Inferior vena cava resection was tolerated without reconstruction. Currently child is disease-free and symptom-free at 22 months of follow-up with normal serum marker.
