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

Painless perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma (PMA) is characterized as a rare malignant tumor of the anal canal and rectum; its incidence rate is extremely low, and it has atypical clinical manifestations. In the present case report, a 79-year old male patient is described who presented with a painless perianal mass that had been present for 15 days. Perianal B-ultrasound examinations revealed a well-circumscribed hypoechoic mass with a maximum diameter of 3.31 cm. A pathological examination of the resected tumor specimen revealed that the tumor exhibited an expansive nodular growth pattern, accompanied by irregular infiltration of glandular structures and extensive secretion of extracellular mucus. The columnar and goblet cells presented with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. Immunohistochemistry examinations showed positive staining for cytokeratin (CK) 7, CK20, caudal type homeobox 2 and mucin 2. The molecular test results suggested a KRAS p. G12d activating mutation. The pathological diagnosis was PMA. The patient underwent radical local wide resection 1 month later, and no recurrence or metastasis was observed during a follow-up period of 12 months. The present case report provides a real-world reference for the clinical diagnosis, selection of treatment plans and evaluation of the prognosis of painless PMA.
