Inadvertent excision of malignant soft tissue tumours.
Review in EFORT open reviews, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Inadvertent excision of lumps which turn out to be sarcomas is not uncommon.Imaging has a limited role in detecting microscopic residual disease but can show the extent of the previous surgical field.Standard treatment is wide re-excision, usually combined with radiotherapy.Residual tumour is found in an average of 50% of reported cases.The presence of residual disease is an adverse prognostic factor.All lumps bigger than a golf ball should have a diagnosis prior to excision.
