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

This correspondence addresses the article published by Nie et al. titled "Primary extraskeletal osteosarcoma of sigmoid mesocolon: a case report and a review of the literature". Their report highlighted an extremely rare case of extraskeletal osteosarcoma (EO) in the sigmoid mesocolon that was diagnosed through imaging and histopathological findings. Diagnosing EO has certain challenges; one of them being the lack of characteristic image findings of EO and the other being the lack of appropriate immunohistochemical (IHC) markers in the histopathological findings. Recently, special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) has been proposed as an IHC marker for osteoblastic differentiation; however, it has low specificity. Some cases of EO may show findings such as mouse double minute protein 2 expression and deletion of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), which are similar to those of other soft tissue sarcomas. Therefore, it is essential to consider other soft tissue sarcomas, especially dedifferentiated liposarcoma, before the accurate diagnosis of EO.
