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

backgroundUndifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL) is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor, typically occurring in children. It poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its atypical presentation and rarity in clinical practice. CASE: We report the first case in Central America of a 19-year-old female presenting with chronic abdominal pain and a liver mass. Imaging revealed a solid and cystic lesion in the liver, and a subsequent complete surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of UESL. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and has been disease-free for 34 months.

conclusionThis case highlights the importance of complete surgical resection combined with chemotherapy to improve prognosis in UESL. Our findings emphasize the need to consider UESL in differential diagnoses of liver lesions, especially in regions where it has not been previously reported.
