Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy to Curatively Treat Primary Leiomyosarcoma at the Ileocecal Valve.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Primary leiomyosarcomas of the colon (PLC) are rare tumors, representing 0.12% of all colon malignancies. We report a 59-year-old man with weight loss, mild anemia, and rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed a 3.2 × 2.6-cm mass at the ileocecal valve. Histopathological examination of the biopsy showed a spindle cell neoplasm that stained positive for smooth muscle actin, caldesmon, and desmin. A diagnosis of PLC was made. Subsequently, a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed, and no local recurrence was noted 6 months after the resection. Given the rarity of PLC, more studies on the clinical features and treatments of this tumor are warranted.
