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

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common subtype of ovarian cancer, most commonly originating from the epithelium of the fallopian tube. In metastasis of HGSOC cells, there is a particular predilection for the omentum. Metastatic involvement of extraperitoneal lymph nodes, particularly the inguinal region, is rare and may pose a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of an 87-year-old female patient presenting with a right inguinal mass, in whom the pathology of the surgically removed mass confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic HGSOC, requiring oncological follow-up and management. This atypical pattern of spread underscores the importance of considering a Müllerian primary in the differential diagnosis of unexplained inguinal adenopathy and highlights the role of histopathology and immunohistochemistry in establishing the correct diagnosis.
