Alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the prostate: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor of uncertain cellular origin. We reported the case of a 21-year-old man with ASPS presenting itself as a markedly vascular tumor of the prostate. Immunohistochemistry showed positive nuclear staining for TFE3, positive cytoplasm staining for MyoD1 and neuron-specific enolase, and negative for S100, CK, synaptophysin, chromogranin A, myogenin and PSA. A dual-color, break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay identified the presence of a TFE3 gene fusion in the tumor cells. RT-PCR was performed to confirm the ASPSCR1 (ASPL)/TFE3 fusion transcript product in the tumor tissue. The patient suffered bone metastases 8 months after surgery and died of cachexia 14 months later. ASPS of the prostate should be discussed in terms of differential diagnosis from clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypes, and molecular genetic features.
