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

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) in the gastrointestinal tract is rare. According to the diagnostic criteria after the World Health Organization 2013 reclassification, there has been only one case of UPS with perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. A 71-year-old man who was undergoing outpatient chemotherapy at the department of respiratory medicine of our hospital for lung cancer and brain metastasis, was admitted to our hospital with sudden high fever and abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan showed free air in the abdominal cavity with thickening of part of the jejunal wall. We suspected jejunal metastasis of lung cancer and performed emergency surgery for acute peritonitis due to gastrointestinal perforation in the same area. A Bormann type 2 tumour was found in the jejunum with perforation. The histopathological diagnosis was UPS. Ten months have passed since the surgery, and there has been no recurrence of UPS and no significant change in lung cancer. Primary UPS of the gastrointestinal tract is rare, and cases with perforation are extremely rare. Currently, ten months have passed since the surgery, and no recurrence has been observed. We encountered a case of UPS in which it was difficult to distinguish metastasis from lung cancer to the jejunum, and the emergency surgery gave us the chance to confirm the definitive diagnosis and save the patient's life.
