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

Tumor emboli due to a sarcoma are usually confirmed by an autopsy or operative findings. A sarcoma embolus in an acute stroke patient is rare. We herein report a 37-year-old man with acute stroke caused by internal carotid artery occlusion who underwent embolectomy. A histopathological analysis of an embolus obtained with a mechanical retriever device was diagnosed as undifferentiated sarcoma. This is the first case of extracardiac sarcoma extraction via mechanical retrieval performed during intervention for acute ischemic stroke. A histopathologic evaluation with embolectomy is important for diagnosing tumor emboli.
