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

Introduction: Liposarcoma is the most common retroperitoneal soft tissue tumor. Liposarcomas are often asymptomatic and are discovered after they become huge. Surgical resection is the first-line treatment for retroperitoneal liposarcoma, but the surrounding organs are often resected with the liposarcoma. Case presentation: A man saw a hospital with a complaint of left lower abdominal distention, and a left retroperitoneal mass was noted on imaging examination. The patient was referred to our hospital. The mass extended from the retroperitoneum through the inguinal canal to the thigh and involved the femoral nerve and psoas major muscle. A well-differentiated liposarcoma was suspected, and an open surgical resection was performed. Complete resection of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma extending to the thigh was achieved without postoperative complications. Conclusion: Treatment strategies for huge retroperitoneal liposarcomas are important to balance antitumor efficacy and postoperative quality of life.
