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

Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) of vascular origin, particularly those arising from the inferior vena cava (IVC), are rare and challenging tumors. This report presents a case of a 35-year-old woman with LMS of the IVC, who initially presented with generalized abdominal pain. Imaging revealed a solid mass lesion arising from the IVC, with no evidence of distant metastasis. The patient underwent en bloc mass excision with IVC resection, resulting in negative margins. After a disease-free interval of 34 months, she developed distant metastases in the scalp and right popliteal fossa. The scalp lesion was confirmed as LMS metastasis, and the patient received palliative systemic therapy. This case highlights the rarity of cutaneous metastases in LMS and underscores the importance of clinical vigilance in detecting such recurrences.
