Primary leiomyosarcoma in the colon: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
rationaleLeiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a common type of soft tissue sarcoma. Primary colonic LMS in general is a very rare entity, accounting for 1% to 2% of gastrointestinal malignancies. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of 55-year-old female who presented with a sudden onset of sharp right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Electronic colonoscopy showed a normal lumen. However, an abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a mass of soft tissue attenuation inseparable from the ascending colon which appeared as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). DIAGNOSES: It is important to diagnose LMS definitively by immunohistochemical profiling of smooth muscle actin, desmin, and CD34.
interventionsShe underwent laparotomy and right hemicolectomy, and histology confirmed a colonic LMS. The patient received no oncological treatment after surgery. OUTCOMES: No recurrence or metastasis was observed at 5 months postoperatively. It is crucial to identify colonic LMS precisely based on immunohistochemistry, and thereby distinguish it from GIST. LESSONS: Further investigation on LMS cases so far is required to establish standard treatment strategies.
