Detection of a primary tumor in the area of the renal artery with 18F-FDG PET/CT in a patient with metastatic undifferentiated sarcoma and a history of mid-aortic syndrome: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2016. 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
backgroundWe present a case of a 57-year-old woman patient with a history of mid-aortic syndrome, treated with several vascular procedures, who was referred for investigation of metastatic disease of an undifferentiated sarcoma of unknown origin.
methodsPositron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) demonstrated multiple fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) avid lung, liver, and osseous metastases as well as a focus of increased F-FDG uptake in the area of the stented left renal artery.
resultHistologic evaluation of soft tissue from the region of the left renal artery revealed atypical spindle cells, consistent with an intimal sarcoma, and with histopathological characteristics identical to those of lung metastases, indicating the F-FDG avid lesion in the area of the renal artery as the origin of the metastatic disease.
conclusionThis case highlights the capacity of F-FDG PET/CT to detect primary tumors even of small size and in unusual localisations. Moreover, it provides further indications regarding the potential association between foreign body reaction on the basis of chronic inflammation and sarcoma development.
