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

Sarcomas are a broad group of neoplasm that originate from the mesenchymal layer and represent about 1% of malignancy in the adult population. We describe a 46-year-old woman with no prior medical history who presented with worsening dyspnea. Physical examination was significant for jugular venous distension and bilateral lower extremity edema. Chest Xray showed cardiomegaly. Echocardiography showed a normal ejection fraction of 65%, pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology and three epicardial masses. Patient had pericardiocentesis performed followed by pericardial window. Biopsy of pericardial mass showed morphologic and immunophenotypic findings supportive of diagnosis of malignant soft tissue sarcoma. Though this type of cancer is rare, malignancy should be included as one of the differential diagnoses of new-onset pericardial effusion in a young patient. Early diagnosis and referral to a specialized sarcoma center for treatment is recommended.
