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

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor occurring in the vulva, vagina, and pelvis; however, it is difficult to treat because it often recurs locally. Since AAM expresses the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR), various hormone therapies have been reportedly effective. Regardless, the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists has not yet been reported. We encountered a case of relapsed AAM in which the GnRH antagonist relugolix was highly effective. Although the patient initially underwent surgical resection for the AAM, recurrence occurred 11 months postoperatively. Since the immunohistochemical expression of ER and PgR was positive, relugolix (40 mg/day) was orally administered daily for six months, resulting in significant tumor regression (8.7 cm to 4.6 cm). This is the first report of successful GnRH antagonist treatment for AAM. Although AAM may be difficult to treat, GnRH antagonists are promising candidates for hormone therapy.
