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

Uterine lipoleiomyosarcomas (L-LMS) are rare malignant tumors with only few cases descripted in literature. As well, liposarcomas (LPS) arising from uterine corpus are extremely rare since fat tissue is commonly poor or absent in uterus. We report a case of L-LMS of the uterine corpus with an associated component of pleomorphic LPS. As for other female pelvic malignancies, these neoplasms are more common in postmenopausal women and clinical findings are nonspecific. Most frequent signs and symptoms are metrorrhagia and abdominal pain often associated with pelvic distension/mass. We describe diagnostic and therapeutic steps of our patient from acceptation to conclusive diagnosis. In this case, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) depicted pivotal diagnostic findings and showed a clear distinction between different tumor components. Therefore, our goal with this essay is to stress the role of CECT imaging for diagnosis of these rare neoplasms. We also perform a review of current literature about liposarcomas of the uterine corpus.
