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

introductionEwing's sarcoma (EWS)/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) (EWS/pPNET) is a group of highly aggressive small round cell tumors of the bone or soft tissue with high metastatic potential and an aggressive course in children and young adults. EWS/pPNET microscopically does not often have a myxoid background. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report an EWS/pPNET, which exhibited an unusual morphology with cells having an acidophilic cytoplasm set in a myxoid background, raising the possibility of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC). A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed the presence of an EWS-FLI1 fusion transcript.

conclusionsMorphology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular assays may be necessary to avoid a potential diagnostic pitfall as EWS/pPNET with a myxoid background may histologically resemble an EMC.
