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

backgroundPrimary extraskeletal chondroblastic osteosarcoma has very poor prognosis, especially in the elderly. The pericardium is an extremely rare site for this tumour. CASE SUMMARY: A 67-year-old man presented with a large pericardial effusion and an intrapericardial mass. His past medical history of pulmonary tuberculosis led us to initially suspect tuberculous pericarditis. Primary extraskeletal chondroblastic osteosarcoma arising from the pericardium was diagnosed by the pathologist after surgery. The patient suffered severe intraoperative blood loss and surgical trauma. He went into shock and died a few hours after surgery. DISCUSSION: Extraskeletal chondroblastic osteosarcoma is a very rare tumour with a grim prognosis. Clinical manifestations frequently are not specific and can be explained by associated pathology. In this report, we describe an unusual case of primary extraskeletal chondroblastic osteosarcoma located in the pericardium and present a review of the literature.
