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

Metastectomy or resection of sarcomas which have metastasized to the lung from other sites has a long and established history. At present, there are more than forty different drugs with activity in soft tissue sarcomas. A number of sarcomas demonstrate differential sensitivities to chemotherapy and targeted agents. Intimate knowledge of the biological behavior of each distinct type of sarcoma should predicate what treatment or protocol is most suitable. Certain patients might benefit from either neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy following the resection of metastatic lesions. Much remains to be learned about the differential sensitivities of various sarcomas to different treatment regimens.
