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

An 81-year-old woman who had undergone total thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer 12 years earlier was found to have a tumor in the tail of the pancreas. Four years earlier, skin, lung, and mediastinal lymph node metastases had appeared. Computed tomography (CT) showed a mass 26 mm in diameter in the tail of the pancreas. Thereafter, the pancreatic tumor increased in size, while the lung metastases remained stable. Unenhanced CT at the time of first detection showed that the tumor was heterogeneous, with low-attenuation areas indicating fat components. As the tumor grew, the fat components became unclear. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. The tumor was diagnosed as dedifferentiated liposarcoma with a well-differentiated liposarcoma component at the tumor margin. The pancreas is an extremely rare site of primary liposarcoma. In the present case, a pancreatic liposarcoma appeared during follow-up of thyroid cancer, and the changes over time were able to be observed with CT.
