Leiomyosarcoma of the rectosigmoid junction, a case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Leiomyosarcomas are a rare type of neoplasm of the digestive tract with an estimated presentation of 0.1% predominantly between the fifth and sixth decade of life [1]. We report the case of a 61 years old male patient without previous medical conditions, with melena and constitutional symptoms and an extensive rectal mass with a final diagnosis of diagnosis leiomyosarcoma of the large intestine, grade II (FNCLCC). Given the rarity of this pathology and the fact that it does not present specific clinical, endoscopic, and imaging features made it difficult to differentiate from other entities of greater frequency such as rectal adenocarcinoma and GIST, representing a real diagnostic challenge.
