Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans of the Breast in Man: An Extremely Rare Entity With a Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare sarcoma of soft tissue representing about 1% of all tumors. In addition, DFSP occurs commonly on the trunk and extremities, and only a few cases of DFSP have been observed on the breast. In men, only 11 cases, including this case, have been reported. In this article, we present a case of left breast DFSP that occurred in a 44-year-old man. The physical examination revealed a left breast tender mass, which invaded the skin. The tumor was staged as T4b N0 M0. Mammography and sonography showed a suspect mass of the left breast. The biopsy and immunochemistry permitted the diagnosis of DFSP of the left breast. The patient had a left mammectomy, with free margins. He presents no evident sign of recurrence 7 months later.
