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

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare congenital tumor typically diagnosed in neonates, with management challenges arising from the size of the tumor and associated delivery complications. In this case, a 32-year-old gravida 5 para 5 woman with a history of three prior cesarean sections was diagnosed with a giant type I SCT at 30 weeks of gestation through prenatal ultrasound, confirmed by fetal MRI. At 34 weeks, an emergency cesarean section was performed due to acute fetal distress, resulting in a newborn with transient respiratory distress. Postnatal imaging classified the tumor as type I SCT, and it was successfully excised on the third day of life without complications. The patient recovered well and was discharged on day fifteen. This case highlights the importance of early prenatal diagnosis, surgical intervention, and multidisciplinary care in managing large SCTs.
