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

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare type of tumor that primarily affects young men and accounts for less than 1% of all soft tissue sarcomas. In this case, a patient diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma and systemic metastases presented with complaints of decreased vision and eye pain. Examination revealed a mass lesion involving the conjunctiva, iris and lens, accompanied by conjunctival hyperemia, corneal edema and hyphema. Ocular metastasis was suspected, and samples were obtained through excisional biopsy of the conjunctival nodule and aspiration of fluid from the anterior chamber. Pathological examination confirmed that the conjunctival nodule represented an ocular metastasis of epithelioid sarcoma. Although there are reported cases of primary orbital epithelioid sarcoma, we present this report because it demonstrates a unique example of extra-orbital primary disease with subsequent ocular metastasis.
