Desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 mesothelioma is an uncommon neoplasm arising in body cavities lined by the mesothelium. Immunohistochemical stains are useful for making a diagnosis, but the correct combination of antibodies as should be selected in a comprehensive assessment. A peritoneal origin combined with desmoplastic histology is an extremely rare disease entity. Here, we report a case of the primary peritoneal malignant mesothelioma. A 53-year-old man admitted to the hospital with abdominal distension and pelvic pain. In laparotomy, peritonitis carcinomatosa situation was exposed. Multiple biopsies were taken from omentum, peritoneum and fascia. Calretinin, WT-1, D2-40, keratin 5/6, mesothelin, keratin 7, keratin 20, CD99, CEA, smooth muscle actin, desmin, CD34 and S-100 were negative. With these findings tumor was evaluated as desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum. Currently, no established standard treatments for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, but early diagnosis by exploratory laparotomy followed by chemotherapy may have contributed to longer survival for patients.
