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

Leiomyosarcoma of the stomach is a very rare malignancy that was not distinguished from the more frequent gastrointestinal stromal tumors until early 2000s. Here we report on a case of a metastatic disease that developed in a 47-year-old man 2 years after he was diagnosed with the primary tumor and treated with curative surgical excision and adjuvant doxorubicin. The primary and metastatic lesions were positive for smooth muscle markers α-smooth muscle actin and h-caldesmon and negative for CD117, DOG-1 and S100 by immunohistochemistry. Metastatic disease progressed on additional monotherapy with doxorubicin and docetaxel-gemcitabine combination, and stable disease was achieved upon treatment with pazopanib. Patient is surviving 35 months since diagnosis of the primary tumor and 11 months since diagnosis of metastatic disease.
