Low-grade Leiomyosarcoma of the Cavernous Sinus in an HIV Positive Patient: Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Primary leiomyosarcomas of the central nervous system are extremely rare tumors, with few cases reported in the literature. In this article we report the case of a patient with an intracranial leiomyosarcoma of the cavernous sinus. This is the case of a 23-year-old man with a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Epstein-Barr virus infection, with clinical picture of headache and left palpebral ptosis, who underwent nuclear magnetic resonance imaging that showed a lesion that occupied the cavernous sinus. Excisional biopsy reported fusocellular mesenchymal neoplasm with smooth muscle differentiation by immunohistochemistry compatible with low-grade leiomyosarcoma. The patient was initially taken to a partial resection, without treatment. Subsequently, the patient presented progression of his disease, so the area of neurosurgery considered that the lesion was unresectable due to its location and the risk of sequelae. It was then decided to treat the patient with intensity-modulated radiation therapy technique external radiotherapy. At six months of treatment, the patient continues asymptomatic with a stable disease.
