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

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant germ cell tumor containing syncytiotrophoblasts and secreting human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), often associated with a poor prognosis. Reports of primary choriocarcinoma of the lung with lymph node metastasis are extremely rare in the literature. Here, we report a surgically treated case of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma in a 32-year-old woman. Surgery was followed by three cycles of chemotherapy with etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, leucovorin calcium, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine. Her post-treatment PET scan showed no evidence of disease, and her β-hCG remains at nadir level. She is currently on monthly hCG surveillance and is in good condition.
