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

De-differentiated primary mediastinal liposarcomas account for less than 1% of all liposarcoma pathology. We report the case of an 82-year-old male who was suffering from progressive dysphagia, shortness of breath, and dysphonia for a period of 2 months. A CT scan of the chest with contrast revealed a large heterogeneously enhancing posterior mediastinal mass extending into the posterior soft tissues of the neck, abutting bilateral carotid arteries, and displacing the trachea and esophagus. Treatment chosen for our patient was surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiation therapy which resolved the patient's presenting symptoms. The insights gained through the diagnosis, management, and treatment of our patient can be utilized to approach this type of rare neoplasm.
