Pleomorphic liposarcoma with liver metastasis diagnosed by combined fine-needle aspiration cytology and core-needle biopsy.
Article in Diagnostic cytopathology, 2022. 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
Pleomorphic liposarcoma (PLPS) is the rarest liposarcoma subtype, with high-local recurrence and metastasis rates. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is successfully used in the diagnosis of primary or metastatic soft tissue tumors, but liver metastases of PLPS diagnosed by FNAC have never been reported. The cytological diagnosis depends on the identification of lipoblasts with sharply defined cytoplasmic vacuoles indenting and distorting the nucleus in the context of a pleomorphic tumor and in a proper clinical and imaging context. Despite its aggressive behavior, hematogenous liver metastases are rare, with just one case reported in literature. A case of PLPS liver metastasis and concomitant primary tumor diagnosed by FNAC and core needle biopsy is herein described.
