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

Uterine leiomyosarcoma distant metastasis is common, and lung metastasis has been reported. However, unique cases have been identified either with late onset of metastatic disease or with large size of lung metastasis. A typical approach to avoid metastasis would be a hysterectomy. Nonetheless, metastatic recurrence is common. We encountered a case at our hospital with leiomyosarcoma metastatic to the lungs. Lung metastasis was noted to be 17 cm in diameter. This size has not yet been reported in the literature to the best of our knowledge.
