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

A subcutaneous mass in the anterior region of the thorax, (presternal region). Subcutaneous metastases in ovarian cancer are rare, occurring in 0.9% to 5.8% of cases. They are usually a late manifestation that arises several years after the initial diagnosis and often serve as a poor prognostic indicator. Their presence suggests a reported median survival ranging from 3 to 18 months. subcutaneous metastases can be categorized into umbilical metastases, commonly referred to as Sister Joseph's nodules (SJN) the most prevalent type, and non-SJN cutaneous metastases. We present the unusual case of a 57-year-old woman who underwent surgical intervention and received adjuvant chemotherapy for serous ovarian adenocarcinoma. She presented for consultation 5 years later with a painful presternal mass, and the histopathological examination of the mass revealed a metastasis of the primary ovarian tumor.
