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

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms most seen in the abdominopelvic region, lung, and retroperitoneum; and less commonly seen in virtually any other site. We report a case of two lower limb masses consistent with diagnosis of IMTs. This is a 39-year-old woman with a history of right lower extremity popliteal fossa synovial sarcoma diagnosed 12 years prior and treated with chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. She presented with two new - one anterior and one posterior - right thigh masses. Biopsies of the lesions demonstrated low-grade inflammatory spindle cell lesions at both sites. Wide resection was performed for both masses and further characterization of the surgical specimens was most consistent with IMT. At follow-up, the patient is well with no signs of recurrence 19 and 7 months postoperative to the resection of the anterior and posterior thigh masses, respectively. This case represents the first reported IMTs occurring as late as 12 years after primary cancer treatment, and the first occurring after synovial sarcoma.
