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

Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of the liver that predominantly affects children, with exceedingly rare occurrence in adults, and is associated with a poor prognosis. We present a case of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver in a previously healthy 45-year-old man admitted to our hospital due to fever. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic-solid mass in the right lobe of the liver, measuring approximately 15 * 13 * 13 cm in size. Imaging diagnosis raised a suspicion of biliary cystadenocarcinoma with hemorrhage. A hepatic resection was successfully performed, and the histologic diagnosis was undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver. The patient received a chemotherapy regimen of ifosfamide combined with epirubicin after surgery, and no recurrence was observed after 6 months of follow-up. We herein review the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of this rare tumor.
