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

Desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCTs) are highly malignant tumors, with distinct reciprocal chromosome translocation (11;22)(p13;q12). Intracranial metastasis is a very rare complication of this tumor, with only a few cases reported in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the only case presenting an extracranial extension of intracranial metastasis of DSRCT. A 33-year-old man was diagnosed with DSRCT in the pelvic cavity. He presented with a scalp lump and right-sided weakness. A biopsy showed metastasis from DSRCT. Metastatic DSRCT to the brain is extremely rare. Surgical resection followed by adjuvant treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation, is indicated as it has a poor prognosis. Moreover, aggressive treatment is warranted to prevent progression and relapse.
