Aggressive Surgical Approach for Treatment of Primary and Recurrent Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcoma.
Article in The Indian journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
To analyze treatment and survival in a series of resected patients with primary or recurrent retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) treated and prospectively followed at a single institution. Between July 1994 and December 2015, 89 patients (36 M, 53 F; mean age 60 years, range 25-79) were evaluated. For the purpose of analysis, complete resection was defined as removal of gross tumor with histologically confirmed clear resection margins. Eighty-three out of the 89 patients (93%), 46 of whom affected by primary RPS, and 37 by recurrent RPS, underwent surgical exploration. Sixty-two had a grossly and microscopically complete resection. Fifty-three out of 83 patients (64%) underwent removal of contiguous intra-abdominal organs. Preoperative mortality was nil and significant preoperative complications occurred in six cases only (7%). High-grade tumor pointed out to be a significant variable for a worse survival in all 83 patients amenable to undergo surgical resection (57% 5 years survival for low grade vs 14% for high grade;
