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 and importanceEwing's sarcoma, a highly malignant bone tumor, typically affects the pelvis and long bones of the lower extremities in children and young adults; primary involvement of the skull is rare. Primary Ewing's sarcoma arising from the skull is very rare. In most cases, this disease is fatal, although the prognosis of Ewing sarcoma improves with radiation and chemotherapy after surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: This case is about 25-year-old woman who was referred to Omid Hospital in Urmia because of frequent headaches, where a tumor mass was found according to the results of CT scan. Biopsy confirmed small round cell sarcoma as the diagnosis. Chemotherapy was ineffective and tumor growth was unstoppable, causing the patient to die after 3 months. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Ewing's sarcoma can affect various parts of the human body, including bone and soft tissue, but rarely the skull. Ewing's sarcoma typically grows extradural and often reaches a very large size before invading the skull or being detected clinically.

conclusionIn most cases, Ewing's sarcoma is fatal, although the prognosis of this disease improves with radiation and chemotherapy after surgery.
