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

This case report describes a rare presentation of uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) with endobronchial metastasis (EBM) manifesting as bilateral pneumothorax. A 48-year-old woman with a history of uterine LMS and lung metastasis presented with dyspnea and was diagnosed with EBM obstructing the left upper lobe. Despite treatment, the patient experienced progressive respiratory failure and succumbed to the disease. This case highlights the aggressive nature of EBM in LMS and emphasizes the importance of considering this rare complication in patients with LMS and respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea and cough without hemoptysis.
