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

Sigmoid leiomyosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that originates from smooth muscles of the sigmoid colon. This case report details a 50-year-old female found to have this condition, presenting to the emergency department with intussusception. A CT scan revealed two intraluminal masses, with the largest 10 cm from the anal verge. A colonoscopy and biopsy revealed a large obstructing mass with atypical spindle-shaped cells. This case shows a rare type of cancer presenting in a rare complication and highlights the approach done in the multi-disciplinary tumor board meeting involving gastroenterologists, radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists, leading to prompt diagnosis and surgical resection.
