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

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is an enigmatic soft tissue tumor. It frequently presents as a deeply seated mass in the proximal extremities and trunk. Superficial LGFMSs of the head and neck are exceedingly rare. Hyalinizing spindle cell tumor with giant rosettes (HSTGR) is an entity considered to be on the histologic spectrum of LGFMS. We present a case of a 44-year-old female who presented with a superficial, polypoid mass of the external auditory meatus. Microscopic examination revealed the classic histologic features of HSTGR. To our knowledge, this case is the first described at this extremely unusual location. Identification and reporting of such unusual cases is important to understand and compare the behavior of superficial LGFMS to that of the more common deeply seated tumors.
