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

Twin pregnancies with a partial hydatidiform mole and a coexisting live fetus are exceptionally rare, and progression to chemoresistant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is even less common. We report the case of a 28-year-old nulligravid woman with prior ovulation induction who presented with a twin pregnancy consisting of a partial hydatidiform mole and a coexisting live normal fetus. Following spontaneous abortion and uterine evacuation, histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry demonstrated p57 positivity, supporting the diagnosis of partial hydatidiform mole, and a normal placental tissue with a fetus without malformations. Despite apparently favorable pathological findings, the patient developed giant theca-lutein cysts complicated by ovarian torsion, progression to GTN, resistance to methotrexate and actinomycin-D, and subsequent pulmonary metastasis. Multi-agent chemotherapy with EMA-CO (etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin-D, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine) achieved complete clinical and biochemical remission, with no evidence of recurrence after three years of follow-up. This case highlights that partial hydatidiform mole with a coexisting live fetus may rarely exhibit aggressive clinical behavior despite reassuring histopathological and immunohistochemical features. Careful clinical and human chorionic gonadotropin surveillance remains essential in complex molar pregnancies.
