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

Small cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) represents less than 0.01% of all ovarian malignancies which affects mostly young women. Most cases are caused by a pathogenic variant (PV) in SMARCA4 gene. Prognosis correlates directly with FIGO stage and multi-modal treatment including optimal cytoreductive surgery plus multi-agent platinum-based chemotherapy is recommended. A case of a 20-year-old female diagnosed with SCCOHT is presented. After surgery, she underwent six cycles of a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen consolidated with an autologous stem cell transplant. She was the first patient diagnosed with SCCOHT to receive a bone marrow transplant in Portugal and, 28 months after the initial diagnosis, has no evidence of relapse. The authors discuss the management of this clinical case in parallel with an updated literature review, and the most recent International SCCOHT Consortium (ISC) guidelines, with emphasis on the role of autologous stem cell transplantation in the early stages of this disease.
