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

Large retrorectal tumors are rare and often a diagnostic and surgical challenge due to their anatomical location. We report the case of a 55-year-old patient with weight loss and changed bowel habits, where digital rectal examination revealed a retrorectal mass raising suspicion of a tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) showed a large retrorectal tumor and histopathology after surgical resection showed undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma. This tumor type has not been previously reported as the etiology of large retrorectal tumors. We discuss the implications of diagnostic imaging, especially MRI, in the approach to diagnosis and surgical treatment of retrorectal tumors with reference to the scientific literature and previously reported cases of retrorectal tumors.
