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

Liposarcoma is the most common retroperitoneal sarcoma and mesenchymal tumor in the abdomen. Usually, it presents with vague symptoms due to its large size and slow growth at the time of diagnosis. Liposarcoma is associated with a high local recurrence rate according to its histology, size and growth rate. Up till now, surgical resection is the only effective treatment for primary and recurrent abdominal liposarcoma. Secondary mesenteric liposarcoma is an extremely rare entity and so far a small number of cases have been reported in the literature. In this article, we present a rare case of a 63-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with mesenteric liposarcoma after 3 years of complete excision of retroperitoneal liposarcoma, presenting primarily as abdominal mass causing mechanical intestinal obstruction.
