Proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma-unusual presentation: unilateral vulvar mass.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Epithelioid sarcoma of the vulva is a very rare malignant soft tissue tumour, usually initially asymptomatic, which simulates a variety of benign lesions, leading to diagnosis only at later stages. Prognosis is generally poor. We report a case of a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman, who presented with rapid growth of an asymptomatic mass located in the left labia majora. Biopsy of the lesion revealed features characteristic of proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma. Ganglionar, adrenal, pulmonary and hepatic metastases were found at thoracoabdominopelvic CT scan. During hospitalisation, the patient's clinical condition suffered rapid deterioration and she died on the 16th day of admission.
