Primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma in an immunocompetent patient: case report.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
We report a case of intracranial leiomyosarcoma (LMS) arising after resection of neurofibroma at the cerebellopontine angle. A 45-year-old immunocompetent woman presented with recurrence of a tumor 9 years after resection performed in another hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a heterogeneously enhancing, dura-based mass at the left cerebellopontine angle. The tumor was subtotally removed via lateral suboccipital craniotomy. LMS was diagnosed based on histological and immunohistochemical findings. Postoperatively, although the patient was treated using local radiotherapy, she died due to rapid regrowth of the tumor. Reevaluation of the specimen obtained in the first operation led to a diagnosis of neurofibroma. Both LMS and neurofibroma rarely occur intracranially. LMS is generally thought to arise from smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels or pluripotent mesenchymal cells. In this case, LMS might also have originated from smooth muscle cells of the vessels in the neurofibroma, possibly associated with mechanical and/or heat stimulation during the previous surgery.
