Hybrid resection of a giant thigh plexiform neurofibroma.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
presentation of caseAuthors present a case of a 55 year old patient with Type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) and a very large right thigh plexiform neurofibroma. The patient had increasing difficulty with mobilization due to this enlarging bulky mass. Preoperative embolization reduced the bleeding risk at surgery allowing successful gross resection of the mass by a multidisciplinary surgical team. Limb function was restored to normal. DISCUSSION: Massive plexiform neurofibromatosis is a rare expression of von Recklinghausen's disease or NF1. These large masses result in severe disfigurement and significant functional disability. They are extremely vascular and there is potential for malignant transformation.
conclusionThese massive tumors require complex preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management strategies with involvement from a multidisplinary team. We discuss the challenges of surgical intervention and to discuss the current literature.
