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

introductionPrimitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy (PMMTI) is a recently diagnosed entity, with only a handful of cases reported to date. CASE DESCRIPTION: Herein, we present the occurrence of this tumor in a 2-year-old boy, initially diagnosed as primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the extremity and treated with chemotherapy and surgical resection. He later presented with a cerebellar lesion, and biopsy was consistent with PMMTI.

conclusionWhile there have been previous cases of PMMTI reported with loco-regional metastatic spread, to our knowledge, there is no known incidence of distant metastasis with involvement of the central nervous system, which makes this case the first of its kind.
