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

Pleomorphic dermal sarcoma is a rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that most commonly affects the head. We describe the presentation of a 61-year-old man with a 10-week history of an exophytic lesion affecting the occipital scalp, demonstrating rapid growth. The final histopathology revealed a completely excised 9cm pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (pT2aN0M0, Stage 3), one of the largest such lesions reported in the literature to date. This patient's management involved a wide local subperiosteal excision onto the cranium, with a reconstruction with an Integra dermal regeneration template (Integra LifeSciences, Princeton, NJ, USA) and healing with secondary intention. This was mainly due to poorly defined clinical margins on primary excision, the potential for further excision of involved margins (later confirmed as not needed) and the patient's comorbidities, making a return to theatre for definitive reconstruction undesirable.
