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

backgroundMalignant transformation (MT) of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) has a poor prognosis, especially in advanced cases. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) has an inhibitory effect on MT. CASE SUMMARY: Herein, we present a case in which CCRT had a reduction effect preoperatively. A 73-year-old woman with pyelonephritis was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography revealed right hydronephrosis and a 6-cm pelvic mass. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) revealed squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was diagnosed with MT of MCT. Due to her poor general condition and renal malfunction, we selected CCRT, expecting fewer adverse effects. After CCRT, her performance status improved, and the tumor size was reduced; surgery was performed. Five months postoperatively, the patient developed dissemination and lymph node metastases. Palliative chemotherapy was ineffective. She died 18 months after treatment initiation.

conclusionEUS-FNB was useful in the diagnosis of MT of MCT; CCRT suppressed the disease and improved quality of life.
