Adjuvant high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the foot: a case report.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Soft tissue sarcomas of the foot are extremely rare and can therefore be misdiagnosed as benign diseases, and be prematurely removed with an unplanned excision. The standard treatment is a wide local excision with an addition of radiotherapy as an alternative to a radical resection (e.g., below-knee or foot amputation). We report on a patient with primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the foot plantar soft tissue, who had no evidence of the disease and no severe late toxicity higher than grade 2, 40 months after receiving amputation of toes and adjuvant interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). To the best of our knowledge, only a few cases were treated with HDR-BT with this scenario. From our findings, HDR-BT could be a safe and quick treatment option for these types of lesions.
