Trichoblastic carcinosarcoma: an authentic cutaneous carcinosarcoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
We describe a trichoblastic carcinosarcoma on the forehead of a 65-year-old man. This is the fifth case of trichoblastic carcinosarcoma in the literature and the first to be reported from the USA. It was successfully treated with direct excision. Trichoblastic carcinosarcoma should be distinguished from epidermal carcinosarcoma. We believe trichoblastic carcinosarcoma is an authentic carcinosarcoma derived from multiple progenitor cells whereas epidermal carcinosarcomas are derived from a single progenitor cell that undergoes epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and are better considered as sarcomatoid carcinomas.
