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

Fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare congenital extragonadal germ cell tumor, which generally carries a favorable prognosis following complete surgical resection of the tumor and coccyx. However, cases of neonatal SCT resulting in mortality are relatively uncommon and often associated with diverse etiological factors. In this report, a female fetus was delivered via lower uterine segment cesarean section. A large mass measuring 13 × 11 × 8 cm was identified in the sacrococcygeal region. The mass exhibited incomplete capsular coverage and was accompanied by hemorrhage. Histopathological biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of immature SCT. Due to severe and uncontrollable bleeding, emergency hemostatic interventions were implemented. Nevertheless, the newborn succumbed on the fifth day of life due to irreversible heart failure and respiratory dysfunction. We conducted a systematic review and analysis of relevant literature to explore various potential factors contributing to mortality in similar SCT cases. This study aims to raise awareness among pediatricians regarding fatal SCT cases and provide references for reducing the risk of mortality associated with this condition.
