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

Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare and poorly defined variant of fibrosarcoma, but generally insensitive to chemotherapy and progresses with poor prognosis. We report the marvelous effect of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) chemotherapy in rescuing a patient with atypical SEF from emergent condition, who underwent recurrences after several treatment methods. Small dose of CPT-11 was administered to the patient, with which, the size of superficial mass (cervical lymph node) gradually decreased observed by the naked eyes in 5 days. X-ray and CT image proved a marked reduction in the size of the tumor. CPT-11 is valuable for the treatment of this aggressive sarcoma. In condition of emergency caused by sarcoma oppression, administering a tolerable small dose of topoisomerase I-inhibiting drug could be a beneficial choice.
