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

Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) accounts for approximately 30% of all liposarcomas. The majority are intermediate-grade tumours, but the presence of >5% round cell component renders it a high-grade sarcoma with subsequent poorer outcome. MLS most commonly arises in the lower extremities, has a predilection for extra-pulmonary sites of metastatic disease, and is recognized to be radiosensitive. The purpose of the current article is to review the role of MRI in the management of MLS, including the characteristic features of the primary tumour, features which help to identify a round cell component and thus determine prognosis, the role of whole-body MRI for evaluation of extra-pulmonary metastatic disease, and the utility of MRI for assessing treatment response. The MRI differential diagnosis of MLS is also considered.
