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

Oesophageal liposarcomas are particularly rare, accounting for 1.2-1.5% of all gastrointestinal liposarcomas. Surgical resection is the usual treatment. Endoscopic resection is minimally invasive but still controversial. This current case report describes a rare case of a large oesophageal liposarcoma in a 52-year-old male that presented with 10-year history of dysphagia for dry and solid food that was exacerbated by a recent common cold. Thoracoscopic and laparoscopic oesophagectomy was performed. He did not have any dysphagia or dyspnoea 1 week postoperatively. The excised specimen consisted of a polypoid mass measuring 21.0 cm × 5.1 cm. Histological examination confirmed that it was an oesophageal liposarcoma. At 1-year postoperatively, there was no sign of recurrence. Thoracoscopy and laparoscopy can be used to treat large oesophageal masses. Long-term follow-up is required as oesophageal liposarcomas tend to recur.
