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 (SCTs) are rare in adults, and malignant transformation within these tumors is exceedingly uncommon. The risk of malignant transformation among adults can vary between 1% and 12% and increases over time with the endopelvic location. Here, we present a case of invasive adenocarcinoma with intestinal and pancreatobiliary features arising from a preexisting SCT in a 64-year-old female. The patient presented with a rapidly enlarging sacral mass and purulent drainage decades after the excision of a congenital lump in the sacral region. Imaging revealed a lytic lesion involving the coccyx and sacrum, accompanied by an ill-defined soft tissue mass. Histological evaluation confirmed adenocarcinoma with dual intestinal and pancreatobiliary differentiation originating from a preexisting SCT with focal involvement of the resection margin. Postoperatively, a multidisciplinary team recommended FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy followed by completion excision surgery. This case contributes to the limited literature on adult SCTs with malignant transformation, highlighting the critical need for timely and comprehensive management. Multidisciplinary evaluation, complete surgical resection, and tailored adjuvant therapy are essential to improving patient outcomes in such rare cases.
