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

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare congenital tumor arising from pluripotent cells at the base of the coccyx and is most often detected during antenatal imaging. In this case, a massive SCT was identified at 26 + 2 weeks during routine ultrasound. The pregnancy was closely monitored with serial scans; however, the mother went into spontaneous preterm labor at 33 weeks and underwent emergency cesarean section. The neonate had an Altman Type I SCT, which was surgically excised on the fourth day of life, and histopathology confirmed a mature cystic teratoma. Postoperative wound infection was managed conservatively with antibiotics, resulting in good clinical outcomes over a 4-month and 10 month follow-up period. This case highlights the importance of early antenatal detection, timely surgical intervention, and coordinated multidisciplinary care in achieving favorable outcomes for congenital SCT, even in resource-limited settings.
