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.
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
Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a rare and highly aggressive mesenchymal neoplasm that is frequently associated with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene fusion. Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment for patients with early- and intermediate-stage EIMS; however, a standardized therapeutic approach for advanced-stage EIMS has yet to be established. Primary pulmonary EIMS is exceedingly rare, with only a limited number of cases reported in the literature. While treatment with ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is considered a viable therapeutic option, and clinical outcomes with monotherapy using ALK-TKIs have frequently been suboptimal. This study presents a case of advanced primary pulmonary EIMS with a TPM3-ALK fusion. The patient received first-line targeted therapy with the second-generation ALK-TKI Ensartinib, in conjunction with radiotherapy for residual and metastatic lesions. This treatment regimen resulted in significant tumor reduction and sustained disease control. The progression-free survival (PFS) exceeded 32 months, with no significant treatment-related adverse events observed. This study investigates the feasibility of combining targeted therapy with local radiotherapy, guided by genetic testing, to offer novel treatment strategies for patients with advanced primary pulmonary EIMS. .
