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

Leiomyosarcoma of inferior venacava is a rare tumor. Female are most commonly affected and middle segment of inferior vena cava is the commonest site. The diagnosis can sometimes be challenging as patients present with non-specific symptoms. We present a case of a 65-year-old female who presented with pain in right hypochondrium and epigastric region since 4 months along with weight loss, anorexia and vomiting. Histopathological examination revealed a capsulated, multilobated tumor arising from muscle layer of inferior venacava with extraluminal growth pattern and tumor cells showing cytoplasmic positivity for immuno-histochemical stain smooth muscle actin. With the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma of inferior venacava, excision of tumor was done with tangential excision of 4 cm length of inferior venacava with primary repair. Keywords: inferior venacava; leiomyosarcoma; smooth muscle actin.
