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

Ewing's sarcoma was first reported by J.Ewing in 1921, which is generally originated from soft tissue of the trunk or limbs. Primary Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) of pleura is an uncommon condition, which is challenging to diagnose, and rarely reported. Herein, we present a previously 14-year-old male patient with fever and dyspnea for 1 month presented to the department of respiratory medicine in Binzhou Medical University Hospital. Radiology revealed a soft mass with massive pleural effusion in the right side of pleural cavity. After admission, we performed the transthoracic catheter drainage for the patient, followed by thoracoscopy and biopsy. Histopathology revealed a small round cell malignant tumor, combined with immunohistochemistry assay and the Fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) detection of EWSR1 gene arrangement, Ewing's sarcoma was finally diagnosed. Despite receiving chemo- and radiotherapy, the patient died 1 year later after diagnosis. This paper reports a rare case that originated in parietal pleura with massive pleural effusion of Ewing's sarcoma, which was not previously reported. This rare tumor and its unusual clinical manifestations prompt us to report the current case.
