Intracranial Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma Lacking the Typical Histopathological Features Diagnosed by

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
Intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) is a rare neoplasm. The diagnosis of MCS is confirmed by the presence of a biphasic pattern on histological examination, comprising undifferentiated small round cells admixed with islands of well-differentiated hyaline cartilage; however, a differential diagnosis may be challenging in some cases. A 28-year-old woman with a 2-month history of headache was referred to our hospital. Radiologic studies showed an extra-axial lobulated mass composed of calcified and uncalcified areas occupying the left middle fossa. Surgical resection was planned, but her headache suddenly worsened before her planned hospital admission and she was admitted as an emergency. Radiologic studies showed an acute hemorrhage in the uncalcified part of the mass. The mass was resected via the left zygomatic approach after embolization of the feeder vessels. The most likely histopathological diagnosis was MCS. However, the typical bimorphic pattern was not identified in our surgical samples; each undifferentiated area and well-differentiated area was observed separately in different tissue specimens, and no islands of well-differentiated hyaline cartilage were identified within the undifferentiated areas in the same specimen. Molecular assays confirmed the presence of
