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 one of the most common mesenchymal tumors, although liposarcomas that occur in the mediastinum are uncommon. We recently encountered a case of mediastinal well-differentiated liposarcoma with secondary myxoid changes and smooth muscle differentiation in a 54-year-old man. The patient reported a 20-day history of chest pain, and thorax computed tomography revealed a large and multilobulated mass with heterogeneous density in the posterior and anterior mediastinum, which extended to the right hemithorax. Resection was performed and a pathological analysis subsequently confirmed a diagnosis of well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient experienced recurrence at 15 months after the surgery and subsequently died of heart failure.
