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

Since ovarian cancer typically spreads intraperitoneally or via lymphatics, a retroperitoneal duodenal obstruction is a rare presentation of ovarian cancer. Such upper gastrointestinal obstruction in a young patient is diagnostically challenging and surgically difficult to address. In this case report, we describe that in an interdisciplinary approach a Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy could be safely implemented into the interval debulking surgery to achieve complete cytoreduction. No postoperative complications were encountered. The surgical procedure was able to remove the upper gastrointestinal obstruction and thereby the need for a venting gastrostomy tube and total parenteral nutrition and thus provided good quality of life and additional lifetime.
