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

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (EOS) is an extremely uncommon malignant soft tissue sarcoma that carries a poor prognosis. However, EOS occurring in the prostate is especially rare. The purpose of this case report is to present the radiological features and immunohistochemistry results of the neoplasm in a 72-year-old man. In the case, contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced MRI clearly showed the primary lesion and the surrounding soft tissue invasion. In our case, massive calcification was seen within the tumor. Despite being regarded as a significant imaging symptom of EOS, calcification only happens in about half of the cases. In our case, positive immunohistochemistry results were included as follows: SATB2 (+), SMA (+), CD99 (+), CK (focal +), Ki-67 (+, hot spots about 40%), P63 (focal +), and Vim (+). Extensive resection is the preferred treatment method for localized lesions. Further adjuvant radiotherapy significantly decreased local recurrences, but chemotherapy did not decrease the risk of systemic recurrence.
