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

Ewing sarcoma is a very common type of malignant bone tumor among children and adolescents that most frequently develops in long bones of the body and extremities; however, it can also affect other bones such as the skull and scapula in rare cases. In Ewing sarcoma, the most common sites of metastasis are the lungs and bones, which indicates a late stage of the disease and is considered a poor prognostic factor. In this paper, we report the case of a 10-year-old boy presenting with a painless swelling on his left shoulder that was not associated with other local or systemic symptoms, and with no neurological manifestations. Initially, Ewing sarcoma of the scapula was suspected after radiological studies, including ultrasonography, X-ray, computed tomography, and bone scintigraphy, which was eventually confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry showing the typical findings of Ewing sarcoma. Ewing sarcoma of the scapula is a rare condition, with only 18 cases reported to the best of our knowledge.
