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

objectiveTo examine the imaging characteristics of intramuscular myxomas (IM) and myxoid liposarcomas (MLS) on MATERIALS AND

methodsWith IRB approval, our institutional imaging database was searched for pathologically proven IM and MLS evaluated by

resultsWe found eight patients (2 M, 6 F) with IM (mean age 65.6 ± 10.4 years) and 16 patients (7 F, 9 M) with MLS (mean age 42.8 ± 16.3 years). MRI was available in 7/8 IM and 15/16 MLS patients. There was no significant difference between the two groups in SUVmax (IM 2.7 ± 0.8, MLS 3.0 ± 1.0; p = 0.35), SUVmean (1.7 ± 0.4, 1.5 ± 0.5; p = 0.40), total lesion glycolysis (101.8 ± 127.3, 2420.2 ± 4003.3 cm

conclusionsIM and MLS most commonly demonstrate low-grade FDG activity and overlapping metabolic measures on PET/CT. MRI is useful in differentiation, but MLS can present without macroscopic fat on MRI, underscoring the importance of radiologic-pathologic correlation for accurate diagnosis.
