Mediastinal undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with pleural effusion cytopathologically misdiagnosed as epithelial malignant pleural mesothelioma: An autopsy case report.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a new disease in the World Health Organization's classification of tumors of soft tissue and bone published in 2013. Primary mediastinal UPS is rare, especially with pleural effusion. Herein, we describe the pathological findings of pleural effusion followed by mediastinal UPS, which was initially misdiagnosed as epithelial malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The cytopathological findings of the pleural effusion cell block often contribute to the diagnosis of various malignant tumors. However, these findings may lead to misdiagnosis of highly invasive mediastinal tumors such as UPS. A biopsy for primary mediastinal lesions should be performed because MPM rarely mimics mediastinal tumors with pleural effusion.
