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

Retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) is a rare disease. RPS invading the abdominal aorta is exceedingly rare and has a poor prognosis. There have been scattered cases of RPS treated with combined abdominal aortic replacement. However, the average survival time for these cases was only 8 months, with a 2-year survival rate of 21%, indicating a poor prognosis. In this case study, a 44-year-old man presented to our hospital complaining of abdominal pain. Multiple imaging findings suggested a retroperitoneal mass that was diagnosed as a malignant tumor. The patient underwent tumor resection with abdominal aortic replacement due to an RPS tumor invading the abdominal aorta. The histopathological grade was determined to be grade 3, the most malignant grade tumor, according to the Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer grading system. Postoperative chemotherapy with doxorubicin and ifosfamide was administered for five cycles. The patient has been alive for over 8 years after the operation without any recurrence. This case presents a long-term survival of RPS requiring abdominal aortic replacement.
