A Rare Entity of Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the Mandible - A Case Report.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
the rationaleUndifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma originally known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma was declassified by the World Health Organization in 2002 as a formal diagnostic entity and renamed as an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. It accounts for <1% of malignant tumours of the long bone. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 33-year-old male patient reported with swelling and pain in the lower left posterior jaw region for 3 months with a history of fall on the floor 3 months back. DIAGNOSIS: On examination, diffuse solitary swelling was present on the left lower third of the face and was diagnosed radiographically and histopathologically as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the mandible. TREATMENT AND OUTCOMES: Selective neck dissection, followed by reconstruction with fibula osteomyocutaneous flap and then referred for adjuvant radiotherapy. TAKE-AWAY LESSONS: Vimentin staining plays a substantial role in the diagnosis of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. A long-term follow-up after treatment is required to increase the chances of disease-free survival for the patients.
