Primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma in an HIV-infected patient.
Review in International journal of clinical oncology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Primary intracranial leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors arising from the mesenchymal cells of the dura matter or the cerebral blood vessels. Only 14 cases of primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma are reported in the literature. We report a case of primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma in an human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient with a CD4 count of 14 cells/μL. Additionally, in-situ hybridization of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early RNA stained sections highlighted the tumor cells, consistent with the presence of EBV. Review of the literature strongly suggests an association between AIDS, EBV, and primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma. Given the paucity of information in the literature, we review possible chemotherapeutic agents for treatment of primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma in patients refractory to surgical resection and radiation therapy.
