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

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and heterogeneous, with cutaneous STS (CSTS) lacking recent epidemiological data. This study analyses CSTS incidence from 2000 to 2019 using SEER data, identifying 18 181 cases. CSTS was more common in men and non-Hispanic Whites, with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) being predominant. The overall CSTS incidence was 11.2 per 1 000 000 person-years, with KS having the highest rate. The study reveals a 1.4% annual decline in CSTS rates and highlights ethnic disparities, especially in KS incidence among Non-Hispanic Black patients.
