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

Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas (RPLMS) are rare invasive malignant tumors originating from the smooth muscle of the retroperitoneum. Although metastasis mainly involves the lungs, liver and vascular regions, cutaneous metastasis is extremely rare, occurring in 1-2.6% of reported cases. This type of metastasis usually indicates disease progression, poor prognosis, median progression free survival of ~5 months, and overall survival of 14-17 months. Although recent molecular analyses have improved our understanding of the pathophysiology of leiomyosarcoma (LMS), the treatment of advanced LMS remains challenging, and there are few series of articles published primarily in case form. The present review explores the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies of skin metastasis in advanced RPLMS, in order to provide further reference.
