Giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma with a maximum diameter of 37 cm: a case report and review of literature.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy derived from adipocytes. They can grow to large sizes before inducing clinical symptoms. Giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma with a diameter over 30 centimeters is extremely rare. So far, only 13 cases of giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma with a diameter greater than 30 cm have been reported. There is very little experience in the treatment of these bulky tumors. Herein, we report a 65-year-old male patient diagnosed with giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma. The patient underwent successful complete surgical resection. The tumor was found to occupy almost the entire abdominal cavity, measuring 37.0 cm × 32.0 cm × 26.5 cm in size and 21.0 kg in weight. Histopathological analysis indicated a grade I, well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient was discharged uneventfully, and no sign of recurrence was observed at 12-month follow-up. Moreover, we reviewed 13 literatures in English published on PubMed database regarding retroperitoneal liposarcoma greater than 30 cm in diameter. The analysis suggests that size alone should not be considered as a contraindication to surgical resection. Combined resection of adjacent organs is necessary if local invasion is confirmed. The role of adjuvant radio or chemotherapy remains controversial. Thorough evaluation on the extent of resection should be made to minimize post-surgery decline in quality of life.
