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

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare tumor with an incidence of 2.5 per million individuals, especially tumors of mixed histologic pattern. We present a case of a 63-year-old woman with a history of slowly increasing abdominal volume over 2 years. The diagnosis of giant and multiple retroperitoneal mass suspected of liposarcoma was confirmed by computed tomography. The patient underwent resection of 7 tumor masses together weighing 5 kg. The microscopic diagnosis was mixed-type liposarcoma of the retroperitoneum. 8 months after surgery, the patient suffered multiple metastases in the liver and abdominal wall, and upper digestive tract hemorrhage. Although this type of tumor is rarely seen, tumor tissue should be thoroughly gathered and analyzed on histologic examination to reach final diagnosis. Knowledge of the subtype of liposarcoma is important for proper prognosis and treatment of the patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of mixed-type retroperitoneal liposarcoma with three components described in the English literature.
