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

Krukenberg tumors are an uncommon metastatic malignancy most commonly originating primarily from the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach, colon, and/or rectum. Due to the rarity of these malignancies, most patients are believed to have primary metastatic ovarian malignancy instead. Here, we present the case of a patient who was presumed to have ovarian metastatic cancer; however, pathology results showed that the malignancy was gastrointestinal primary in nature. In this instance, intraoperative findings and immunohistochemical profiling played a crucial role in differentiating a Krukenberg tumor with a gastrointestinal primary versus ovarian metastatic cancer. In this case, proper diagnosis resulted in a change of management, highlighting that even the most unlikely differentials should still be considered.
