Carcinosarcoma of the Nasal Septum: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report a case of a 62-year-old man with epistaxis and right-sided nasal obstruction. Nasal endoscopy revealed an exophytic mass arising from the anterior septum that extended posteriorly to the osteo-meatal complex. Excision with endoscopic sinus surgery was performed. Carcinosarcoma was diagnosed based on histopathology and immunohistochemical studies. The patient declined surgery and opted for chemoradiation therapy for the residual tumor. Six weeks after completion of the treatment, clinical resolution of the right nasal mass was noted. Carcinosarcomas are rare and rapidly growing tumors that have a high recurrence rate and are associated with poor patient prognosis. This report emphasizes the need for patients with prolonged nasal obstruction and epistaxis to consult otolaryngologists and undergo nasal endoscopy for definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
