Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma of the Brain with Metastasis: A Case Report with Literature Review.
Article in Journal of neurosciences in rural practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the brain is one of the rarest tumors with dismal prognosis. A 26-year-old man presented with headache, vomiting, and diplopia. On evaluation, a moderately enhancing extra-axial lesion was seen in right temporal region involving right greater wing of sphenoid, adjacent right maxillary sinus, and lateral wall of right orbit. Patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the spine and computed tomography (CT) of the chest for possible metastasis which showed lesion in lumbar vertebrae and left lung. Patient was planned for CT-guided lung biopsy which proved inconclusive. The patient was further planned for craniotomy and underwent craniotomy with microscopic excision of the mass. Histoimmunochemistry was suggestive of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the brain is highly aggressive tumors which are difficult to differentiate radiologically. Radical excision followed by chemoradiotherapy is optimal treatment of choice.
