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

Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a rare subtype of inflammatory myofibrosarcoma. Anlotinib has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of sarcoma. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, its use in EIMS has not been reported. Herein, we present a case of pulmonary EIMS. The patient underwent two courses of chemotherapy with doxorubicin combined with ifosfamide; however, the treatment was switched to anlotinib due to leukocytopenia. After 11 months of treatment with anlotinib, the tumor was in partial remission. Subsequently, the patient developed an acute myocardial infarction, which resulted in the discontinuation of anlotinib. Four months after discontinuation, the tumor progressed and anlotinib therapy was resumed. Following treatment for 5 months, tumor assessment indicated partial remission until March 2024. During this period, the patient experienced an adverse effect (i.e. ostealgia), which led to two reductions in the dosage of anlotinib. This case report provides a novel strategy for treating EIMS.
