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

A 34-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, presented at 33 weeks of gestation with significant weight loss, anorexia, abdominal pain, and a single episode of hematemesis. On examination, she appeared cachectic, with generalized abdominal tenderness. Imaging revealed bilateral adnexal masses and ascites, and endoscopy identified a gastric mass. Biopsy confirmed signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma. Laboratory workup showed elevated cancer antigen 125 and hypoalbuminemia. Plans were made to deliver at 37 weeks to maximize fetal maturity. However, at 35 weeks, she developed acute abdominal pain and fetal bradycardia. Emergency laparotomy revealed uterine rupture. A total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. The infant, delivered with no signs of life, died four days later despite supportive care. Histopathology confirmed Krukenberg tumors (bilateral ovarian metastases) and peritoneal spread. Postpartum positron-emission tomography/computed tomography revealed osseous metastases. The patient commenced treatment with folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin version 6 and nivolumab, later receiving palliative radiotherapy and transitioning to paclitaxel. This case captures the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing advanced gastrointestinal cancer in late pregnancy. It also highlights the emotional and clinical weight of navigating maternal care amid rapidly evolving disease and obstetric emergencies. Multidisciplinary coordination was critical throughout her journey.
