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

Endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) is a rare, low-grade neuroendocrine neoplasm previously believed to be indolent in nature. There have only previously been six reported cases of metastases and none of thoracic structures. This case shows a metastatic EMPSGC in a 72-year-old male with a complex oncologic history and is the first reported case of metastases to the lung. As increased recognition of this entity continues to grow, it is important to consider it as part of the differential in mucinous and/or neuroendocrine neoplasms for appropriate management. This case adds to the oncologic literature by demonstrating a rare cutaneous neoplasm and emphasizing its metastatic potential.
