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

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) most commonly metastasize to the lungs. Current surveillance guidelines variably recommend abdominal and pelvic imaging, but there is little evidence to support this. We sought to determine the proportion of initial pulmonary versus extrapulmonary metastases, the time to development of each, and factors to identify patients that would benefit from abdominopelvic surveillance. We retrospectively reviewed 382 patients who underwent surgical treatment for STS at a single institution. Of the 33% (126/382) of patients who developed metastases, 72% (90/126) were pulmonary, 22% (28/126) were extrapulmonary, and 6% (8/126) developed both simultaneously. Initial extrapulmonary metastases occurred later (log rank
