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

Myxofibrosarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma that occurs in elderly patients. Primary myxofibrosarcoma rarely arises in the mesentery; this is the fourth known case of myxofibrosarcoma presenting as a mesenteric tumor. A 62-year-old male with a mesenteric myxofibrosarcoma presented with an abdominal mass; his symptoms were frequent urination and a sense of abdominal pressure. He was admitted for further examination. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mesenteric lesion. The preoperative diagnosis was a suspected malignant myxoid tumor. We performed a curative resection with wide margins. The histopathological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed that the tumor was mesenteric myxofibrosarcoma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and there have been no signs of relapse for three years to date after surgery. It is difficult to make a definitive diagnosis of mesenteric myxofibrosarcoma using only CT or MRI. However, when the preoperative findings suggest a malignant mesenteric tumor, then the best practice is resection with sufficient margins.
