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

Primary dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) of the gallbladder is an exceptionally rare neoplasm. We present a case of incidentally discovered gallbladder DDLPS identified during routine surveillance abdominal computed tomography (CT) in a patient with a history of low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. The mass was initially suspected to be primary gallbladder carcinoma, prompting cholecystectomy. Histopathologic examination revealed a high-grade sarcomatous nodule within the gallbladder adventitia, sharply demarcated from an adjacent well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) component. The diagnosis of DDLPS was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) demonstrating MDM2 gene amplification. This case expands the limited literature on gallbladder DDLPS and emphasizes the importance of including liposarcoma in the differential diagnosis of atypical gallbladder masses. Recognition of this rare entity is critical for appropriate diagnosis, surgical decision-making, and patient management.
