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

Sacrococcygeal teratomas are rare in adults, despite being common in infants. Adult presentations are often asymptomatic and may go undetected until complications arise. We report a case of a 20-year-old female with a long-standing sacral swelling. Imaging revealed a large, well-circumscribed mixed solid-cystic mass in the presacral region causing displacement of pelvic structures. Surgical excision of the tumor was done along with the surrounding rectal wall. Early surgical intervention is essential to prevent malignant transformation and optimize outcomes.
