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

backgroundUterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare, extremely aggressive tumor with a high rate of metastasis. Five-year survival for individuals with metastatic disease is only 10%-15%. Metastases to the brain are exceptionally rare and are associated with poor survival. OBSERVATIONS: The authors report a case of uterine leiomyosarcoma that metastasized to the brain in a 51-year-old woman. A single lesion on magnetic resonance imaging was discovered in the right posterior temporo-occipital region 44 months after resection of the primary uterine tumor. The patient underwent a right occipital craniotomy with gross-total resection of the tumor and is receiving adjuvant stereotactic radiosurgery and chemotherapy with gemcitabine and docetaxel. At 8 months postresection, the patient remains alive and asymptomatic with no sign of recurrence. A literature review of prior reported cases was conducted to analyze patterns of approach to patient treatment and survival. LESSONS: The authors found an apparent survival benefit in patients receiving adjuvant radiation therapy.
