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

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a low-grade malignant soft-tissue tumor that originates from the skin. It has a slow onset in the early stages, non-specific clinical symptoms, low specificity, and can easily be overlooked, missed, or misdiagnosed by clinicians and pathologists. In addition, DFSP is prone to recurrence after local surgical treatment; however, distant metastasis, especially abdominal metastasis, is rare, which is also a challenge for the accurate diagnosis of DFSP when it progresses distantly. Now a case of abdominal metastasis of DFSP is reported. The patient has been treated with imatinib for ten years, and the lesion has shrunk, but because the patient has been receiving imatinib treatment, his abdominal lesion was once misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Therefore, we report on this case to enhance the understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of DFSP, and to provide reference for the pathological diagnosis and precise treatment of such patients.
