Lymph node metastasis of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the absence of widespread disease five years after diagnosis: a rare finding.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm that accounts for less than 10 percent of all soft tissue sarcomas. These tumors can arise spontaneously or in association with a neurofi-broma in patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NFI). Lymph node metastasis from MPNST is rarely seen and has only been reported in the setting of widespread metastasis. Therefore, regional lymph node dissections are not routinely performed in the management of MPNST. To our knowledge, this case is the first reported case of cutaneous MPNST metastatic to a regional lymph node in the absence of widespread disease. We report the case of a 49 year old male with a history of NFI and MPNST involving only the right elbow which was excised with clear margins. Five years later, he presented with an isolated 11.5 × 9.0 × 7.0 centimeter right axillary mass which was completely excised. Microscopic examination revealed metastatic MPNST with lymph node involvement. Although isolated lymph node metastasis from MPNST is rare, this case expands our knowledge of the clinical behavior of MPNST.
