Extraskeletal osteosarcoma in right neck subcutaneous tissue: A case report of an extremely rare tumour.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2018. 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
Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma that is treated with surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy; however, as it is now considered to be radiation resistance, it is associated with conflicting management principles and poor outcomes. A multimodality approach is currently used to treat ESOS, which entails the incorporation of multidrug chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy coupled with surgery to obtain the best outcome; however, there are many factors that influence the treatment effects and clinical outcomes of ESOS. In the present study, a case of an 81-year-old man who suffered from primary ESOS in the subcutaneous tissue of the right-hand side of the neck was reported. The patient was treated several times with partial resection and once with radiotherapy, and was still living following 3 years of follow-up. Thus, the present case report demonstrated that surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy regimens may be favourable in the short term with a disease-free survival of ~15 months; however, patients are prone to relapse.
