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

backgroundDedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) has a worse prognosis and occurs most commonly in the retroperitoneal region and rarely in the intraperitoneal region. Histological diagnosis was revolutionized by the combined contributions of histo-immuno-chemistry and molecular biology. Aside from surgery, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment for this chemoresistant cancer. CASE SUMMARY: A thirty-year-old black female presented with a large painful abdominal mass occupying nearly the entire abdomen and progressive weight loss was admitted for surgery. Abdominal computed tomography showed a large heterogeneous mass of the mesentery that was sized 18 cm × 16 cm in size and had heterogeneous contrast enhancement. During laparotomy, en bloc excision of the large and multilobulated gastrocolic ligament mass was performed. The initial postoperative histopathological diagnosis was undifferentiated sarcoma. Finally, the results of immunohistochemistry and molecular biology allowed us to confirm the diagnosis of DDLS. The tumour followed an aggressive evolution with diffuse metastasis, causing the death of the patient less than 5 mo after the operation.

conclusionDedifferentiated liposarcomas are rare tumours that typically originate in the retroperitoneum but may arise in unexpected locations.
