Lipoblastoma: Diagnosis and surgical considerations.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Lipoblastoma (LB) and lipoblastomatosis (LBS) are uncommon benign mesenchymal tumors of embryonal fat, occurring almost exclusively in infancy and early childhood. These fast-growing tumors have an excellent prognosis if properly treated. Eight consecutive children having pathologically demonstrated LB treated by the same surgical team were retrospectively reviewed. There were 5 boys and 3 girls between 7 to 36 months (median age 22 months). The localization of the tumors was on the thigh (1 case), abdomen (2 cases), axillary and pectoral region (1 case) paragluteal region (1 case), lumbar area (1 case), inguinal-scrotal (1 case), and in one case, presacral, gluteal and perirectal region (1 case). Five were focal and in 3 cases an infiltrative growth pattern was observed. One case exhibited a gross appearance resembling sacrococcygeal teratoma, with associated Dravet syndrome. No recurrence was noted in our series, after a mean follow-up of 28 months post operatory. Despite its rareness, LB must be kept in mind when diagnosing a rapidly growing fatty mass in children. Even when dealing with very large abdominal LB, complete surgical excision is possible, with an excellent prognosis. Due to the relatively high recurrence rate noted in the literature, particularly in LBS, follow-up is extremely important.
