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

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS), a rare and malignant neoplasm of soft tissues, comprises less than 1% of all soft-tissue sarcomas and is characterized by distinct histopathological and molecular markers. A 27-year-old female presented with a history of postcoital vaginal bleeding and intermittent bleeding over the preceding month. Imaging studies identified abnormal echogenicity and vascular patterns in the posterior cervical lip. Initial histopathological assessment indicated a perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) with TFE3 gene rearrangement; however, subsequent immunohistochemical and molecular analyses corroborated the diagnosis of ASPS. The patient underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Postoperative pathology revealed that the residual tumor was confined to the inner third of the cervix, with no evidence of lymphovascular or perineural invasion. The patient did not receive adjuvant therapy and was followed for three months postoperatively, during which no recurrence or metastasis was observed. Given the extreme rarity of ASPS, its diagnosis necessitates meticulous scrutiny by pathologists to inform and guide subsequent therapeutic approaches.
