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: We report a case with over 6 years of follow-up for well-differentiated liposarcoma or atypical lipomatous tumor (WDL/ALT). Observations: Over a 6-year time course, a patient with a recurrent right orbital mass was biopsied/debulked four times. It was not until the fourth biopsy that a diagnosis of WDL/ALT was obtained. Throughout the time course, the patient maintained good vision and there has been no evidence of dedifferentiation or metastasis thus far. Conclusions: The diagnosis of WDL/ALT sound be considered in the cases of a recurrent orbit mass when pathology continually shows nonspecific fibrofatty tissue with chronic inflammatory changes.
