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

Background: Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an extremely rare and highly aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma that predominantly affects adolescents and young male patients. This malignancy is defined by the t(11;22) (p13;q12) chromosomal translocation, which generates the Case summary: A 13-year-old boy presented with increased defecation frequency and progressive weight loss. Serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels were markedly elevated at 187.00 U/mL. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a large heterogeneous mass with calcifications in the left epigastrium, invading the adjacent intestinal loops. CT-guided biopsy combined with immunohistochemical staining demonstrated positive expression of desmin, cytokeratin pan (CKpan), and vimentin in the tumor. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) confirmed the presence of Conclusion: We report a pediatric case of intra-abdominal DSRCT harboring
