Liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor (LSMFT), a study of 33 patients: should it be a distinct entity?
Article in The Iowa orthopaedic journal, 2012. 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
Liposclerosing myxoid fibrous tumor (LSMFT) is a recently described bone lesion site specific to the proximal femur. We have studied the radiographs and clinical features of 33 patients with this disorder. Histologic material was available for study in 18 of these patients. Histologic study revealed that 12 of these 18 had an underlying fibrous dysplasia and these had an underlying intraosseous lipoma. Because of this histologic evidence as well as the radiographic spectrum of the other lesions, we conclude that LSMFT is not a specific lesion and use of the term should be discontinued.
