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

Background: Primary Ewing's sarcoma of sphenoid sinus, observed in children and adolescents, is an extremely rare malignancy. Such rarity makes the imaging features and treatment strategies for Ewing's sarcoma of sphenoid sinus unclear. This study aimed to offer guidance for treating this very disease by describing a patient with a rare primary Ewing's sarcoma of sphenoid sinus and reviewing the available data in the literature. Case description: A case of Ewing's sarcoma in sphenoid sinus treated with multidisciplinary treatment approaches, including tumor resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and antiangiogenic therapy, was presented in this study. Moreover, literature for Ewing's sarcoma in the head was systematically searched, and two cases in the sphenoid sinus and five cases in the sphenoid bone were identified. Furthermore, the clinical features, imaging findings, pathological characteristics, treatment, and prognosis were summarized. Conclusion: Tumor resection combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy may provide favorable results for patients with Ewing's sarcoma of sphenoid sinus and bone. However, more reports are still necessary to further clarify optimal management.
