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

introductionPrimary hepatic extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is a rare tumor with no specific clinical manifestations, and little is known about it. Here, we describe an elderly patient with primary hepatic osteosarcoma confirmed by pathology results to raise awareness. CASE REPORT: We report an unusual case of a 62-year-old man who presented with right upper quadrant pain. The inflammatory indicators were elevated, and alkaline phosphatase (AKP), carbohydrate antigen (CA-199 and CA-125) were slightly increased. Computed tomography images and magnetic resonance images discovered a 7.8 × 7.4 × 6.6 cm mass with irregular radiated and cotton-like tumor bone between the liver and right kidney space. Pathology revealed the mass to be primary exophytic ESOS of the liver. The patient underwent a surgical operation and standard chemotherapy and is still alive with no recurrence and metastasis to date.

conclusionOwing to the rarity of the tumor and the lack of clinical characteristics and specific laboratory indexes, it is difficult to make a correct diagnosis. Medical imaging features mainly behave soft tissue entity with tumor bone composition. Surgical resection combined with adjuvant chemotherapy is the main treatment for ESOS.
