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: Primary small bowel carcinoma in pregnant women is extremely rare. Small bowel cancer is difficult to diagnose because of its rarity, lack of specific clinical symptoms, and particular anatomical features. We experienced a case of primary small bowel adenocarcinoma with ovarian metastasis during pregnancy. This is the first reported case of a patient with small bowel adenocarcinoma whose pregnancy continued to term and ended in delivery. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old pregnant woman developed abdominal pain, and imaging examination revealed an ovarian tumor at 29 weeks of gestation. We performed laparotomy and resected the ovarian tumor, which was initially suspected to be primary ovarian cancer. The patient continued the pregnancy to term. A detailed examination of the abdominal cavity during cesarean delivery at 37 weeks revealed that the primary lesion was located in the small bowel. Conclusion: It is important to recognize that the small bowel may be the primary site of metastatic ovarian cancer. Detailed and careful examination is necessary to diagnose small bowel cancer during pregnancy.
