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

Ewing sarcoma is a rare neoplasm that mostly grows in bones or soft tissues around bones. Most cases of Ewing sarcoma occur in intra-skeletal locations (long bones, pelvis, or ribs) and rarely in extra-skeletal regions such as paravertebral or epidural space, whereas a primary intradural extramedullary Ewing sarcoma (IEES) is extremely rare. Fifty cases of primary IEES including our case were identified in the literature, so far, of which two-thirds are in the lumbosacral region, while only 12 reports described a cervical location of the tumor. Herein, we are presenting a case of C7-T1 primary IEES for a 24-year-old male, followed by a review of updated literature about the primary IEES in the cervical spine.
