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

Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine is a rare malignancy. Despite advancements in diagnostic imaging, leiomyosarcoma remains challenging to diagnose preoperatively due to its nonspecific presentation. This study presents a 72-year-old female with a 3 cm ileal leiomyosarcoma, diagnosed via histopathology. Post-surgery, she recovered well with no recurrence at 4 months. A review of 13 cases showed ages 45-90 years (mean: 69.8), with males affected twice as often. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom, and metastases occurred in several cases to the lungs, liver, and other organs. The mortality rate was 38.5%. Early diagnosis is crucial, as mild symptoms may be overlooked until severe complications arise.
