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

introductionColon leiomyosarcoma (CLMS) is an extremely rare neoplasm and the information regarding its clinical characteristics and specific treatment was still unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: A 73-year-old female who had been diagnosed with transverse CLMS underwent laparoscopic surgery. The resected specimen showed that the tumor contained proliferation of spindle-shaped cells and arranged in fascicular pattern, which was immunohistochemically positive for smooth muscle actin and desmin. Moreover, the tumor bottom was not continuous with the muscularis propria and had a clear border in the submucosa layer. According to these findings, we finally diagnosed it as primary CLMS arising from the muscularis mucosa (MM). No recurrence was noted 24 months after surgery.

conclusionsThis literature demonstrates CLMS arising from MM and suggests that its pathological diagnosis is associated with disease prognosis.
