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

We report on a patient with metastatic extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC), who was treated with palliative high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT). The patient was an 87-year-old woman who underwent an amputation for a bulky tumor in her right ankle joint. EMC was histopathologically confirmed. She presented with a large right inguinal lymph node metastasis of EMC 16 months after surgery. Palliative HDR-ISBT (30 Gy/2 fractions in 1 day) for the right inguinal lymph node metastasis was administered to shorten treatment period. Additional HDR-ISBT (30 Gy/2 fractions in 1 day) was administered for the management of subsequent subcutaneous metastasis to the right breast and right popliteal fossa. HDR-ISBT provided significant long-term control of the recurrent tumor in all three sites, without severe acute and late toxicity. Thus, HDR-ISBT regimen of 30 Gy/2 fractions in 1 day can be a suitable option for both palliation and long-term local control for patients with metastatic EMC.
