Giant Leiomyosarcoma Arising in Posterior Thigh: Management of a Rare Case.

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
Leiomyosarcoma, primarily a tumor of smooth muscle origin, frequently originates from the uterus, retroperitoneum, and intra-abdominal region. Rarely, the tumor may arise from the conjunctiva, inferior vena cava, or oral cavity. Here we report a case of a 65-year-old male patient who presented with a swelling in the posterior thigh for six months. The swelling was progressively increasing in size for the last two months. Examination of thigh showed a swelling of 20×30 cm in size, which was firm, non-compressible, immobile, and not transilluminating. CT scan showed no metastasis in the liver, lung, or bone. The histopathology report showed poorly differentiated leiomyosarcoma involving the muscles of the posterior compartment of the left thigh. The tumor was resected, and the patient was referred to rehabilitation clinic. Early diagnosis of such cases is essential to improve the outcome in patients as these tumors can metastasize early.
