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

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an exceedingly rare lymphohematopoietic malignancy with morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of mature tissue histiocytes. We report a unique case of a HS with synchronous skin and gastrointestinal tract involvement which has not been reported in literature till date to the best of our knowledge. A 70-year-old male farmer presented with multiple ulcerated skin lesions ranging from 0.5 to 10 cm all over the body. Autopsy revealed multiple transmural nodular deposits in stomach, intestines, head of pancreas, and peripancreatic tissue. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry profile was consistent with HS exhibiting positivity for CD68, CD163, and lysozyme. CD 163 identifies histiocytic malignancies with high degree of specificity and has become a promising marker for their diagnosis.
