Soft Tissue Special Issue: Cutaneous Pleomorphic Spindle Cell Tumors.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This manuscript provides an overview of pleomorphic spindle cell tumors presenting on sun-damaged skin of the elderly and includes discussions of atypical fibroxanthoma, pleomorphic dermal sarcoma, spindle cell and metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma, spindle cell and dedifferentiated melanoma and poorly differentiated cutaneous angiosarcoma. These tumors share many of the clinical presenting and histological features, making confident diagnosis challenging. A reliable and robust diagnosis is necessary to predict behavior as the biologic potential of these tumors ranges from benign (e.g. atypical fibroxanthoma) to outright malignant with poor survival rates (e.g. cutaneous angiosarcoma). The salient clinical, histologic and immunohistochemical characteristics are discussed in detail with emphasis on distinguishing features and differential diagnosis to provide the reader with a better understanding of these entities and helpful clues for a more robust diagnosis.
