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

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) typically spreads within the peritoneal cavity, and metastatic spread to extraperitoneal lymph nodes, particularly the inguinal region, is rare. Herein, we present a case of a 47-year-old premenopausal woman who presented with an enlarging, ulcerating right inguinal mass. Imaging revealed a necrotic inguinal mass, with no significant intra-abdominal findings. Surgical excision was performed, and histopathology confirmed metastatic HGSOC. She then underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by radiotherapy. She then underwent robotic-surgical staging. Histopathological analysis showed bilateral ovarian involvement with multiple tumor foci. Genetic testing identified a BRCA1 mutation, leading to adjuvant maintenance therapy with Olaparib. This case emphasizes the importance of considering ovarian carcinoma in the differential diagnosis of unusual inguinal lymph node masses, even without a visible ovarian mass. Early detection, genetic testing, and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for optimizing patient outcomes in advanced HGSOC with atypical metastasis.
