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

Primary hepatic liposarcoma is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor that accounts for only 0.1% to 2% of primary malignant liver tumors. Due to its rarity, there is a lack of knowledge about its clinical course, management, and prognosis. Only 15 cases of primary liposarcoma of the liver have been reported since 1973. Among these 15 cases, only two involved primary liver liposarcoma with a pleomorphic subtype. Here we report the third and fourth cases of primary pleomorphic liver liposarcoma. A 57-year-old female presented with abdominal discomfort and progressive abdominal distension for two weeks. Computed tomography (CT) of her abdomen revealed a large well-defined solid nodule mass with an area of necrosis and hemorrhage occupying segment IV-B of the liver. Wide local excision was performed. She had an uneventful recovery and remained well at six months post-treatment. A 65-year-old male presented with an abdominal mass for two-month. CT demonstrated a mass in the left lobe of the liver with mixed soft tissues and fat attenuation. He underwent wide local excision. He was discharged on day three postoperatively. Histological analysis for both cases revealed liposarcoma of the liver with a pleomorphic subtype.
