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

Pulmonary metastasis of sarcomas are common and highly aggressive. Prompt management is crucial to improve outcomes. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who presented with a 14.2 × 12.1 × 13.8 cm mass in the left lower lobe and multiple right-sided subcentimeter nodules, occurring 21 years after resection of a right thigh spindle cell sarcoma. She underwent a left pneumonectomy as palliative treatment. The postoperative course was uneventful. She remains clinically stable 20 months following surgery without progression of right sided disease.
