A case report of primary pancreatic leiomyosarcoma requiring six additional resections for recurrences.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
introductionPrimary pancreatic leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare. We report a case in which six additional resections were required to treat recurrent tumors in a 5-year period following the primary operation. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 69-year-old man presented with a pancreatic tumor. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed a large heterogeneous mass with a necrotic area arising from the pancreatic body. We performed distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and wide resection of the transverse mesocolon. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a pancreatic leiomyosarcoma. We repeatedly performed surgery on recurrent tumors. DISCUSSION: Primary pancreatic leiomyosarcoma is considered to be a highly aggressive malignancy. The most effective treatment is complete surgical resection with tumor-free margins. Even when tumors recur, it is possible to improve the prognosis by further resection.
conclusionLong-term survival is achievable by repeated resection of recurrent tumors.
