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

Pancreatic leiomyosarcoma (PL) is a very rare, malignant neoplasm with a very poor prognosis. Here, we examine a novel case of PL with schistosomiasis hematobia. The patient had been initially misdiagnosed by the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The second imaging examination demonstrated an enlarged heterogeneous tumor mass in the body-tail of pancreas. Following image analysis, the patient underwent a pancreatectomy, splenectomy and lymph node dissections. Sixteen months after the tumor resection, follow-up computed tomography (CT) and MRI revealed tumor metastasis in the liver and lung. PL has non-specific clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics, making early diagnosis very challenging. When it is difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant pancreatic lesions, short-term imaging follow-up is preferred. In this case report, we discuss the relationship between PL and schistosomiasis hematobia.
