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

Background: Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas are characterized by a high rate of local recurrence and distal metastases. The optimal treatment for prolonged survival remains unknown. Case Presentation: This study reports a patient with leiomyosarcoma (LMS) diagnosed through postoperative recurrence with failed systemic chemotherapy. The patient underwent retroperitoneal tumor resection and surgical pathology showed LMS.A CT scan of the abdomen was performed one year after the surgical procedure, which revealed the presence of multiple intrahepatic metastases. Two cycles of systemic chemotherapy with a combination of doxorubicin and ifosfamide were performed, after which imaging assessment showed the intrahepatic lesions were significantly enlarged compared to prior ones. Considering the failure of systemic chemotherapy, the patient was treated with drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) eight times with simultaneous targeted therapy with anlotinib, and the disease control time reached 29 months. Conclusion: This case provides a new treatment option for patients with multiple liver metastases from retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma, which is discussed in the context of this case.
