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

Krukenberg tumors are very rare. Its origin is difficult to define especially if its gross features mimic a primary ovarian cancer. We present a case of a 24-year-old Filipino female patient with metastatic mucinous ovarian adenocarcinoma of colonic origin that mimicked primary ovarian cancer and genitourinary tuberculosis. Surgery was done and histopathology revealed that the cancer was a metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of colonic origin. This case highlights the importance of differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian lesions as well as distinction between primary and metastatic ovarian neoplasms. Radiological imaging has an evolving role in diagnosis of different cancers, which may be improved through better clinical correlation and developing meaningful differential diagnosis while advancing to a more strategized algorithm in the diagnostic approach.
