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

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) represent a family of rare mesenchymal neoplasms, some of which are malignant. There are no specific management guidelines for PEComas, and factors correlating with the disease course are not well defined. This analysis aimed to describe the outcomes of PEComa patients treated radically, including those treated exclusively in the national reference sarcoma center. The secondary aim of the study was to analyze factors associated with PEComa treatment efficacy. We performed an analysis of 27 patients subsequently treated radically for PEComa between 1999 and 2019 who were in follow-up in the national sarcoma reference center. The proportional-hazards model was used to compare the risk of death. The median age at diagnosis was 45 (21-67) years, and 67% of patients were female. The median follow-up period was 68 months (95% CI: 39-101). At the time of analysis, eleven patients (40.7%) experienced progression of the disease and four (14.8%) died. Surgery in the reference sarcoma center was associated with a longer disease control (log-rank
