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 retroperitoneal liposarcoma (PRPLS) is a rare soft tissue tumor with nonspecific clinical symptoms; it has different computed tomography (CT) image features according to pathological types. Some patients with a single tumor have been previously reported in the literature. We present an exceptional case of a PRPLS patient with multiple large tumors exhibiting different patterns of appearance on CT and confirmed as atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma by postoperative pathology. CASE SUMMARY: A 64-year-old man presented with abdominal distension for 1 year. The patient was diagnosed with PRPLS based on physical examination, laparotomy, ultrasonography, CT scan, and surgery. Both of the tumors were completely resected through surgery and confirmed as atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma by postoperative pathology. The postoperative course was uneventful without recurrence or metastasis, as demonstrated by abdominal-pelvic CT during an 18 mo follow-up.

conclusionMultiple large Well-differentiated liposarcomas with different patterns of appearance on CT image can occur simultaneously in the same patient, to which more attention should be paid to make an effective differential diagnosis.
