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

Giant lipomatous tumors of the trunk are rare and can pose diagnostic and reconstructive challenges. A 71-year-old man presented with a left back mass that had enlarged over 30 years, especially during the previous 2 years. The mass measured 56 × 54 × 28 cm clinically; computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a predominantly fat-containing thoracodorsal lesion measuring 27.1 × 18.6 cm on axial images, with septa and solid nodules but no definite muscle invasion. The tumor was excised under general anesthesia with flap reconstruction and weighed 10 kg. Histology showed mature adipocytes of variable size with scattered atypical stromal cells and lipoblasts. MDM2 immunostaining was negative, and molecular confirmation was unavailable; the findings favored an atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma after clinicopathological correlation. Recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence at 9 months. Careful imaging, complete excision when feasible, and long-term surveillance are essential.
