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

Background. The origin of Ewing's sarcoma in a periosteal location is rare and not clearly documented. Other malignant bone tumors appear to have a somewhat better prognosis when confined between periosteum and bone. Is it the same for periosteal Ewing's sarcoma?Methods. We describe two new cases and comprehensively review the literature consisting of 18 documented cases since the condition was first described in 1986 (S.M. Bator.Cancer 58:1781- 4).Results. Periosteal Ewing's sarcoma differs from the other forms of Ewing's sarcoma in terms of sex predominance, location of tumor, surgical stage at presentation and typical imaging studies. Eighteen out of the 20 patients were reported to be alive with no evidence of disease.Conclusions. It seems that the prognosis of this rare variant of Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors might be better but the small number of cases precludes such a firm conclusion.
