Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the external anal sphincter: a case report.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundLow-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare soft tissue tumor that has a tendency to grow in the deep soft tissue of the trunk and extremities. Despite its benign appearance, the tumor has a high recurrence rate and metastatic potential. LGFMS in the perineal space is rare, and only a few cases have been reported. We present the first case of LGFMS to be located at the external anal sphincter. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old male patient admitted to our Surgical Department with perianal pain and swollen for a year. The digital rectal examination revealed a perianal mass. Oral metronidazole and analgesia were prescribed on suspicion of perianal abscess failed to alleviate the symptom; hence, the patient was scheduled for surgery. Intraoperative diagnosis revealed an encapsulated tumor in the external anal sphincter that extended from the perianal region orally to the pararectal space. The results of immunohistochemistry (MUC4 staining) and FUS gene rearrangement by fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the diagnosis of LGFMS.
conclusionsThis case is unique in terms of the location of the rare soft tissue tumor. Although LGFMS is considered low grade, its unpredictable behavior necessitates a long-term follow-up.
