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

introductionSclerosing epithelioid sarcoma (SEF) is a rare fibroblastic sarcoma. It is classically composed of cords of epithelioid cells embedded in a hyalinized stroma; however, cases of cellular variants also exist. A cellular variants of SEF can mimic Plasmacytoma/Myeloma (PM) and myoepithelioma. Hence, accurate diagnosis of SEF is important for cytologists and pathologists. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present the case of a 75-year-old female patient diagnosed with a cellular variant of SEF occurring in the erector spinal muscle. Immunostaining of MUC4 and fluorescence in situ hybridization of EWSR1 (break-apart signal) were used for diagnosis.

conclusionThe cellular variants of SEF presented diagnostic difficulties in fine needle aspiration. Moreover, it could not be distinguished from PM.
