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

purposeThis study was presented to investigate the clinical-pathological characteristics of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) following non-molar pregnancy and differentiated with ectopic pregnancy (EP).

methodsThe clinical data of 83 patients who were admitted for suspected GTN after non-molar pregnancy at the Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University from January 2015 to September 2022 were selected for analysis.

resultsIn total, 41 cases were confirmed non-molar GTN, including 31 choriocarcinoma, 9 PSTT (placental site trophoblastic tumor), and 1 ETT (epithelioid trophoblastic tumor), while 42 cases were confirmed EP. Compared with ectopic pregnancy, non-molar GTN patients had lower levels of serum progesterone compared with EP (3.81 nmol/L vs 17.70 nmol/L, P = 0.001). Based on the ultrasound, the thickness of the endometrium was thinner in patients with non-molar GTN compared with EP (0.565 cm vs 0.70 cm, P = 0.018). By histopathologic examination, the endothelium of non-molar GTN showed less decidual-like changes compared with EP (64.3% vs 14.6%, P = 0.001).

conclusionA combination of serum progesterone levels, endometrium thickness, and histopathologic features of the endometrium can help to differentiate non-molar GTN and EP. Surgeries including hysteroscopy with curettage and/or laparoscopy are needed.
