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

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), as defined by immunohistochemical evaluation, are identified along a spectrum ranging from atypical neurofibroma to high-grade MPNST because these tumors are similar in terms of cell shape and tissue components on hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The patient was a 57-year-old male referred to our hospital, with a recurrent red tumor at the anterior commissure of the larynx and submucosal swelling of the right vocal fold. A surgical specimen from a right horizontal partial laryngectomy was evaluated immunohistochemically. A high-grade MPNST lesion was included in the submucosal white tumor, whereas a low-grade MPNST lesion was encountered around the high-grade MPNST lesion. This tumor may involve different malignancies even when it is small. Although intra-tumor heterogeneity in cancers has been reported recently, careful immunohistochemical examination can be important and beneficial for eradicating the tumor while preserving vocal function.
