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

Yolk sac tumors, a subset of malignant germ cell tumors originating from gonadal germ cells, most often present as ovarian or testicular tumors in adolescents, sometimes in combination with different types of histology as a mixed malignant germ cell tumor. We describe a female toddler presenting with severe iron deficiency anemia who was found to have a gastric pure yolk sac tumor. Pure yolk sac tumor of the stomach has rarely been reported and is even less frequent in the pediatric population. Our review of the medical literature found 12 case reports of gastric pure yolk sac tumor, of which only 1 was in a child, a 3-year-old male. Our patient underwent subtotal gastrectomy and received adjuvant systemic chemotherapy and is tumor-free at 3 years following surgery. This is the first reported case of a gastric pure yolk sac tumor in a pediatric female, brought to clinical attention due to significant gastrointestinal blood loss.
