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

objectiveTo explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of orbital alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), providing a basis for its diagnosis and treatment.

methodsPatients diagnosed with primary orbital ASPS at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University from 2014 to 2024 were included. A retrospective analysis of clinical data, imaging findings, pathological features, immunohistochemistry results, etc., was conducted. Follow-up data were also analyzed.

resultsA total of 7 patients (7 eyes) were included in the study, consisting of 4 males and 3 females, aged between 2 and 47 years (median age 27 years), with follow-up period range from 16 to 201 months. Orbital protrusion was the most common presenting symptom (5/7), with one case involving invasion of the paranasal sinuses. During follow-up, all patients survived, and two patients experienced recurrence, all localized to the orbit. Recurrence was more common in younger patients, with an average recurrence time of 10 months post-surgery. High Ki67 expression was significantly associated with local recurrence (P = 0.047).

conclusionPrimary orbital ASPS generally exhibits indolent biological behavior, and complete surgical excision can lead to long-term control. However, patients with high Ki67 expression should be closely monitored due to the higher risk of recurrence.
