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

introductionClear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare tumour of the soft tissue often misdiagnosed, as it shares characteristics with malignant melanoma (MM). Previously, CCS has been characterised, as malignant melanoma of the soft tissue, contemporary immunohistochemical techniques, however, have made this designation obsolete. The true incidence remains unknown, but CCS is believed to represent less than one percent of all sarcomas. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 22-year-old patient presented with a mass sized 2.6×2.7×2.7cm of the left gluteal region, pain, and malaise. Initially, the symptoms were interpreted as an infection. Subsequent, pathological diagnosis after surgical removal was tentatively MM albeit definitive pathological diagnosis was CCS. DISCUSSION: The patient of this case underwent definitive surgical treatment with 2cm margin. In spite of time delay, because of prolonged time for definitive diagnosis, PET-CT and sentinel lymph node biopsy did not show any metastasis. One-year postoperatively, multidisciplinary follow-up is without suspicion of relapse.

conclusionAccurate and timely diagnosis of CCS are imperative, as initial misdiagnosis, may cause delay and further tumour growth, which is correlated to the prognosis.
