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

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) has a relatively poor prognosis, however this neoplasm rarely occurs in the head and neck. To date, no definite protocol has been established for the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck DDLS. The present study reports the case of a 69-year-old male patient with DDLS of the oral floor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of oral floor DDLS. In addition, this is the first reported case with the development of a second primary malignancy following the treatment of head and neck DDLS. A literature review of 50 cases of head and neck DDLS revealed that preoperative biopsy is not reliable for the diagnosis of these tumors and an accurate pathological diagnosis with total resection is preferred.
