Mesenteric Lymph Node Recurrence of a Primary Colorectal Leiomyosarcoma.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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
Primary colorectal leiomyosarcoma is an excessively rare entity. It is associated with an aggressive behavior and typically favor hematogenous spread. The current standard of care is surgical resection. A 49-year-old patient presented with a 2-month history of fever. A PET-scan revealed a hypermetabolic mass in the transverse colon, and colonoscopy confirmed a tumor. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Histopathological diagnosis was of a leiomyosarcoma. Fourteen months after the surgery, a follow-up abdominal scan revealed a 2 cm mesenteric lymph node that was hypermetabolic on PET-scan. The mesenteric lymph node was resected and histopathology confirmed a leiomyosarcoma metastasis. This case opens the controversy on the management of rare lymph node recurrences in colorectal leiomyosarcoma.
