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

backgroundLiposarcoma (LPS) is a rare malignant tumor, but it is also one of the most common adult soft-tissue sarcomas. Myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) accounts for 30% of all LPS cases. Diagnosis during pregnancy and the puerperium is very rarely reported, and only a few cases have been reported in the thigh. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 36-year-old female patient on the 11th day of the puerperium after a cesarean section. The patient presented to the gynecology ward owing to the sudden appearance of a tumor in the medial part of her right thigh. The lesion was non-painful, mobile, soft, approximately 20 cm in diameter, and protruded above the level of the rest of the thigh surface. A suspicion of hematoma was raised. The final diagnosis was high-grade MLPS.

conclusionsAn MLPS diagnosis is uncommon in female patients and even rarer during pregnancy. This case represents a novel occurrence, as the first instance in which symptoms manifested during the puerperium. Proper treatment and early detection could improve disease outcomes.
