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

Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas. Low-grade MFS has a high local recurrence rate, similar to that of high-grade MFS. Hence, appropriate adjuvant therapy is required to control low-grade MFS. In this report, we present a case in which recurrent low-grade MFS was successfully treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using CyberKnife® (CK) (Accuray Incorporated, Sunnyvale, CA). A 76-year-old man underwent SBRT using CK for recurrent low-grade MFS in the right posterior chest wall after undergoing resection and skin grafting four and three times, respectively. We planned CK treatment separately for each in two parts. For the lesion on the scapula side, the target volume was 109 cm
