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

purpose of reviewSurgical resection is the standard treatment for localized soft tissue sarcoma (STS), while systemic chemotherapy for advanced STS may be considered. However, less aggressive treatment is often administered to elderly patients with STS. Undertreatment may compromise the cure rate and survival of these individuals. We review the literatures and emphasize the importance of standard treatment for STS in elderly patients. RECENT

findingsThe outcome of surgical resection of STS in older individuals is comparable to that of younger ones, as long as patients are selected based on American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS). Likewise, systemic treatment may prove beneficial as long as the risk of complications is estimated with a geriatric assessment. Elderly patients with STS benefit from standard treatment as long as the risks of surgical and systemic complications are assessed respectively with the ASA-PS and GA. Novel clinical trials with broader eligibility criteria are also necessary for elderly patients because of the increasing population of the elderly patients in the future.
