Two cases of primary leiomyosarcoma of sigmoid colon treated with laparoscopic surgery: A case report and a review of literature.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introduction and importanceLeiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the colon is an extremely rare and highly invasive tumor arising from the muscularis propria of the gastrointestinal tract. After the introduction of oncogenic role of KIT by immunohistochemistry (IHC), the reported cases of gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma were highly limited. True LMS of the colon is such a rare disorder that there isn't much description of its nature. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported two very rare cases of primary leiomyosarcoma of sigmoid colon, which referred to our institution with symptoms of abdominal pain, lower GI bleeding and fatigue. After the initial investigations, both patients were diagnosed with primary LMS of sigmoid colon that underwent laparoscopic tumor resection. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The classical colonic LMS presents with a vast majority of non-specific symptoms including mild abdominal pain, fresh/obscure rectal bleeding, and weight loss. The most common location for colonic LMS is the sigmoid colon, and ascending colon. The prognostic factors for the disease outcome have not been established properly; however, patient age, tumor size/grade, and local/distant dissemination are of great importance.
conclusionHerein, we reported two rare cases of primary leiomyosarcoma of sigmoid colon that was treated with laparoscopic surgery.
