Massive FungatingEwing's Sarcoma of Scapula Treated by Limb Salvage Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionEwing's sarcoma (ES) is a malignant tumor of the bone and soft tissue arising from the neuroectodermal cells. It commonly arises from the extremities of children and young adults and very rarely from flat bones like the scapula. Locally advanced disease with prior history of surgery and poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a bedridden patient is usually treated by forequarter amputation, considering the anatomical complexity of the shoulder girdle. CASE REPORT: A young adult diagnosed and previously operated for ES of the left scapula, presented to us with a massive fun gating mass over the left upper back, excruciating pain and inability to use the left upper limb. Limb salvage surgery was performed, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and autologous stem-cell transplantation. The patient is disease free with a functional limb on 3 years of follow-up.
conclusionES of scapula is very rare. With meticulous surgery and multidisciplinary treatment approach, limb salvage can be achieved even in such advanced cases, thereby prolonging survival and providing better quality of life.
