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

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is an unusual presentation of venous thromboembolic disease. Incidental asymptomatic appearance of OVT is a recognized complication of gynecologic cancer surgery, but published information on incidental OVT during targeted therapy of cancer with hormone therapy and/or monoclonal antibodies is scarce. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman who had a diagnosis of asymptomatic right OVT during the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer with tamoxifen plus trastuzumab. Clinical evolution in this case was favorable without anticoagulant therapy, with confirmed thrombus resolution and without further events. Available literature on this topic is limited, but some data indicate that anticoagulation is also a valuable option to consider, according to potential advantages and risks, on an individual basis.
