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: The most common type of vulvar cancer is squamous cell carcinoma. The management of early-stage vulvar squamous cell carcinoma includes radical local excision of the primary tumor. Evaluation of sentinel nodes for metastases is used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Presentation of case: We present the case of a 62-year-old patient, with a history of radical vulvectomy with inguinal lymphadenectomy due to vulvar cancer 7 months prior to presentation and found to have new suprapubic lesions - 10 cm above the pubic bone. Results showed recurrence of the primary tumor despite negative results of margins and lymph nodes. The patient was then transferred to a Hemato-Oncologist for further management. Conclusion: In spite of the negative results, the patient presented for unusual recurrence 10 cm above the pubic bone, rather than locally or in the groin area. This raises questions about the mechanism of recurrence and preventative measures to be taken.
