Malignant fibrous histiocytoma, now referred to as Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma: A Case Report of an unexpected histology of a subcutaneous lesion.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2019. 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
introductionAn 85year old male presented to his General Practitioner with a vague history of a lump on his back that was mobile and non tender. He had a previous history of advanced prostate cancer and radiotherapy treatment. PRESENTATION: We present an unexpected diagnosis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of a subcutaneous lesion removed from the patient's back. DISCUSSION: Excisions of subcutaneous lesions along with cutaneous lesions form the majority of cases on a usual minor operations list. All lesions are sent for histopathological analysis and most are confirmed benign sebaceous cysts or lipomas. However the entity of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, now referred to as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) should be kept in mind. Patients will usually present late with advanced local disease or metastasis, usually to lungs and lymph nodes. Treatment is surgical with wide local excision and neoadjuvant/adjuvant radiotherapy has been advocated as well.
conclusionUndifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma should be a differential in subcutaneous lesions in older adults with a previous history of malignancy, radiation therapy and a mass in the subcutaneous tissue of the back.
