Intraabdominal and ganglionic desmoplastic small round cell tumor: a case series.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionDesmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis, affecting young male patients. It frequently presents as a large abdominal mass with widespread peritoneal involvement at diagnosis. In late stages, metastases may be present.
aimWe retrospectively reviewed patient characteristics, presenting symptoms, tumor pathology, treatment, and outcome of four patients with desmoplastic small round cell tumor at our institution. CASES PRESENTATION: The first three cases reported are 32-, 17-, and 30-year-old North African males with intraabdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor treated by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy with different follow-ups. The final case is a 16-year-old North African male with ganglionic desmoplastic small round cell tumor but no evidence of a tissue mass. He underwent two lines of chemotherapy with no response. The patient was lost after 2 years of follow-up. In all cases, desmoplastic small round cell tumor was confirmed by presence of t(11,22) (p13,q12) translocation.
conclusionTreatment of desmoplastic small round cell tumor is based on multidisciplinary therapy. Despite high-dose chemotherapy, extensive surgical resection, and radiotherapy, desmoplastic small round cell tumor remains lethal.
