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

Primary cutaneous malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are extremely rare. Accurate diagnosis is critical for prognostic evaluation and guiding clinical management. Here, we report a case of a 19-year-old woman with a 1.1 cm exophytic red mass on her left upper limb. Histological examination revealed a dermal tumor composed of clear cells with prominent nucleoli. The tumor cells displayed cytologic atypia, nuclear pleomorphism, multinucleated giant cells, mitoses and invasive growth, with a multinodular distribution within the dermis and vascular invasion. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells expressed cathepsin K, HMB45, and CD10. Based on morphological and immunohistochemical findings, we classified it as a primary malignant cutaneous PEComa. To date, only eight reported cases have been described as primary malignant cutaneous PEComas. The present case appears to be the youngest patient reported among all malignant PEComas.
