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

introductionHistiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare malignant disease with a poor prognosis and unknown pathogenesis. In addition, this disease is difficult to diagnose due to the wide variety of diseases to be differentiated from it. CASE PRESENTATION: A 37-year-old woman with right-sided chest pain was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 30-mm mass with osteolytic changes in the right eighth rib. Further examination revealed a rib mass, right renal mass, anterior mediastinal nodule, bilateral pulmonary nodules, and suprasellar nodule. A needle biopsy of the rib mass revealed granuloma with histiocytes. A subsequent needle biopsy of the right renal mass revealed similar findings without evidence of malignancy. The imaging findings suggested malignant disease; therefore, wedge resection of the upper lobe of the right lung and biopsy of the mediastinal mass were performed under general anesthesia. HS was diagnosed based on the immunostaining results.

conclusionsFor the treatment of HS, early intervention is said to contribute to a prolonged prognosis. In order to provide appropriate therapy, HS should be included in the differential diagnosis for multifocal extranodal tumors.
