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

Introduction: Ovarian cancer metastasis to the pericardium is rare. Surgical resection of such metastases is exceptionally uncommon, with only limited cases reported in the literature. Case Report: We report a case of platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer treated with surgical resection, including massive diaphragmectomy and pericardiectomy. The surgery involved removing an 8 cm diaphragmatic lesion and a 5 cm pericardial defect, which was intentionally enlarged to 7 cm to prevent incarceration. A patch repair was used for the large diaphragm defect. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well and subsequently underwent chemotherapy and targeted therapy without complications. Conclusion: Ovarian cancer metastasis to the central tendon of the diaphragm can involve the pericardium, requiring complex and high-risk surgery. Such cases necessitate a multidisciplinary approach led by a team of experienced gynecologic oncologists.
