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: Visceral sarcomas are a rare form of soft tissue sarcoma. This study aimed to evaluate the survival and prognostic factors and effective treatments for visceral sarcomas. Methods: All patients with visceral sarcoma referred to our center between January 2010 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and a log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Results: A total of 53 patients with visceral sarcoma were analyzed in this study with the median age at diagnosis of 57 (range, 24-77) years. Among them, 37 (69.8%) and 16 (30.2%) patients had localized and metastatic diseases at the initial presentation, respectively, and 44 patients underwent surgical resection. The median follow-up, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 63.0 (range, 2-130), 42.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.879-73.121) and 45.0 months (95% CI 9.938-80.062), respectively. The 5-year EFS and OS rates were 44% and 46%, respectively. Univariate analysis of prognostic indicators illustrated that metastasis at presentation, surgery, surgical margin and the types of surgery were significantly associated with OS and EFS. In this study, combined chemotherapy or radiotherapy had no effects on EFS and OS. Conclusion: Primary visceral sarcoma is an uncommon and aggressive malignant tumor with a higher rate of local recurrence. In the largest cohort of visceral sarcomas in China to date, we identified metastases at presentation, surgery, surgical margin, and the types of surgery as independent predictors of survival. The combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy did not affect survival.
