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

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are rare heterogeneous group of soft tissue neoplasms. In most cases, they originate within the pre-existing neurofibromatosis. The emergence of glandular structures in MPNST is curious and enigmatic. We report a case of recurrent MPNST with glandular differentiation arising in the background of neurofibroma in a 20-year-old lady. By immunohistochemistry, MPNST showed focal positive staining for S100 and negative staining for SOX10 while adjacent neurofibroma showed diffuse positivity for S100 and SOX10. The glandular tumor cells showed positive staining for CDX2, Cam5.2, CK19, and CK7 (focal), while negative for SOX10 and S100. MPNST with glandular differentiation is quite rare which may pose a diagnostic challenge. The glandular differentiation in MPNST should be excluded from the metastasis from second primary with the aid of clinical and radiological correlation.
