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

introductionMultifocal soft tissue sarcoma is a rare clinical entity occurring in 1 % of patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma and in 4.5 % of patients with liposarcoma. Multifocal disease may arise either synchronously or metachronously and has been associated with poor prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report a rare case of a Syrian woman patient with six different foci of liposarcoma in five sites at the time of diagnosis. DISCUSSION: Liposarcomas are currently classified into four different subtypes based on histologic or genetic analysis according to the World Health Organization (WHO), including cell-differentiated, dedifferentiated, myxoid, and pleomorphic. In the present work, we report a neglected patient with a multicentric round cell liposarcoma in five different sites.

conclusionMedicine cannot provide much care for these advanced cases of multicentric liposarcoma so far. Therefore, more research should be conducted to improve the ability to manage these entities and to identify potential novel therapies.
