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

purposeTo meet the challenges of the precision medicine era, quality assessment of shared sarcoma care becomes pivotal. The MDT approach is the most important parameter for a successful outcome. Of all MDT disciplines, surgery is the key step to rendering sarcoma patients disease free; therefore, defining its spectrum is critical. To the best of the authors' knowledge, a comprehensive interoperable digital platform to assess the scope of sarcoma surgery in its full complexity is lacking.

methodsAn interoperable digital platform on sarcoma surgery has been created to assess the clinical exposure, tumor characteristics, and surgical settings and techniques applied for both resections and reconstructions of sarcomas.

resultsThe surgical exposure of an individual surgeon over time served as a pilot. Over the study period of 10 years, there were 723 sarcoma board/MDT meetings discussing 3130 patients. A total of 1094 patients underwent 1250 surgical interventions on mesenchymal tumors by one single sarcoma surgeon. These included 615 deep soft tissue tumors (197 benign, 102 intermediate, 281 malignant, 27 simulator, 7 metastasis, 1 blood); 116 superficial soft tissue tumors (45 benign, 12 intermediate, 40 malignant, 18 simulator, 1 blood); and 519 bone tumors (129 benign, 112 intermediate, 182 malignant, 18 simulator, 46 metastasis, 14 blood, and 18 sequelae of first treatment). Detailed types of resections and reconstructions were analyzed.

conclusionsAn interoperable digital data platform on sarcoma surgery with transparent real-time descriptive analytics is feasible and enables large-scale definition of the spectrum of sarcoma surgery to meet the challenges of sarcoma precision care in the future.
