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

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is prone to local recurrence, and complete resection remains the treatment of choice. We report a 70-year-old man who underwent carotid artery replacement with vascular grafts on two occasions for recurrent disease. A recurrent tumor invading the right common carotid and subclavian arteries was resected with vascular graft replacement. After 2 years and 7 months, recurrence developed around the carotid artery anastomosis. En bloc tumor resection with repeat carotid artery replacement using a prosthetic vascular graft was successfully performed. The patient was discharged on postoperative Day 9 without postoperative neurological deficits. Postoperative radiotherapy was administered following both operations. He remains free of recurrence more than 2 years after the most recent surgery. This case suggests that repeat carotid artery replacement using a vascular graft may be a feasible treatment option for selected patients with recurrent dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
