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

introductionPelvic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) originating from a dermoid cyst (DC) is extremely rare. Here, we report the first case of SCC that developed in the anterior rectal area. CASE PRESENTATION: A 46-year-old man was initially diagnosed with rectal SCC by endoscopic biopsy, and multimodal image findings demonstrated direct invasion of the urinary system. Accordingly, total pelvic exenteration with bilateral lymph node dissection was performed with robotic assistance, and the patient was discharged without severe postoperative complications. Histological assessment revealed that the cancer originated in a DC with direct invasion of the seminal vesicle.

conclusionsPelvic DC-derived SCC is rare but possesses high malignant potential. Because of the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, diagnostic excision may be selected if complete resection is possible. Importantly, robot-assisted surgery enables precise management and might be an optimal strategy for preventing cancer dissemination by rupture during surgery.
