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

Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are common soft tissue tumors in the body. Primary orbital and conjunctival LMS are, however, rare. Herein, we describe the diverse clinical presentations, histopathological features, and management outcomes of three cases of primary LMS of the conjunctiva and one case of primary orbital LMS. The first patient was a 40-year-old female with primary orbital LMS who developed recurrence following wide local excision. The remaining three cases were primary conjunctival LMS. All four patients underwent orbital exenteration and were disease-free at a mean follow-up period of 18.64 months. LMS is known for local recurrences and metastasis. Complete surgical excision and prompt adjuvant radiotherapy can improve the prognosis.
