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

A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital for mediastinal malignant neoplasm. Chest computed tomography revealed a 20-cm mass in the middle mediastinum with displacement of the superior vena cava, left innominate vein, and right upper lobe. Tumor resection, right upper lobectomy, combined resection of the left brachiocephalic vein and superior vena cava, and revascularization were performed. It was pathologically diagnosed as an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and the patient experienced no recurrence for 4 years. Although the prognosis of mediastinal pleomorphic sarcoma cases is poor, complete surgical resection may lead to long-term survival.
