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

Metastasis of high-grade soft tissue sarcoma to the stomach is an extremely rare occurrence. While sarcomas can spread to distant organs, they most commonly metastasize to the lungs, liver, and bones. We report a unique case of gastric metastasis from a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma, occurring 4 years after the initial diagnosis of fibrosarcoma in the right femoral region. The patient did not undergo adjuvant chemotherapy and developed a large soft tissue metastasis in the left gluteal region 2 years later. After 4 years, he presented with a second soft tissue metastasis and suspected metastatic lung nodules. Symptoms of melena and severe anemia prompted a gastroscopic examination, which revealed gastric metastasis from a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Due to severe anemia, a palliative gastric resection was performed. A review of the literature indicates that metastatic leiomyosarcomas are the most frequently reported sarcoma subtype metastasizing to the stomach.
