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 (EPS) is an ultra-rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm of uncertain differentiation that comprises two distinct clinicopathological subtypes: classic and proximal. Classic EPS most commonly occurs in the distal upper extremity of adolescents and young adults, whereas proximal-type EPS most often affects the truncal regions of young to middle-aged adults. Both classic and proximal-type EPSs exhibit aggressive clinical behavior, including a higher risk of local recurrence and regional lymph node or distant metastasis. Histologically, classic EPS is characterized by irregular nodules composed of epithelioid and spindled cells, while proximal-type EPS consists of multinodular distributions and sheets of large polygonal cells. EPS has a distinctive immunoprofile with characteristic expression of cytokeratins and epithelial membrane antigen. Loss of nuclear expression of SMARCB1 protein occurs in the vast majority of cases. Moreover,
