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

backgroundSignet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare subtype of colorectal cancer. The incidence of primary colonic SRCC is relatively rare in pediatric patients, with a limited number of reported cases currently available. The prognosis for this specific tumor type is unfavorable, and the preoperative diagnosis presents challenges, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. This case report describes the diagnosis of primary SRCC in the colon of a 10-year-old girl. CASE SUMMARY: The patient was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain and vomiting. A computed tomography scan revealed an irregular mass with soft tissue density in her transverse colon, showing uneven density and multiple calcifications. The patient underwent surgical resection of the affected bowel and lymph node dissection, which was confirmed by pathological examination to be SRCC infiltrating both nerves and the entire intestinal wall. Additionally, tumor thrombus formation was observed in blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, multiple cancerous nodules were found in the omentum, and metastasis to 18 of 26 mesenteric lymph nodes examined. Immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair gene protein demonstrated microsatellite stability. No mutations in

conclusionPrimary colonic SRCC is a rare malignant tumor with atypical clinical symptoms, and timely identification and intervention are crucial for improving the prognosis.
