Vulvar Leiomyosarcoma in Pregnancy.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Vulvar leiomyosarcoma is a rare smooth muscle malignant neoplasm but it is the commonest type of vulvar sarcomas. It may mimic benign tumors and misdiagnosis could delay proper management. We report a case of a 38-year-old pregnant woman with leiomyosarcoma of the vulva. The patient presented to her primary general practitioner with a small vulvar mass that she had first noticed one year prior. The tumor was suspected to be benign Bartholin's cyst and treated with antibiotics. The patient declined improvement and had many consultations to different clinics where she had been diagnosed and treated the same. The tumor size started to grow rapidly after she got pregnant, and the patient was referred to our hospital where she underwent tumor resection. Histopathology revealed leiomyosarcoma. The patient had further assessment and close follow-up and has had no recurrence for 12 months. There is little literature available on vulvar leiomyosarcoma, most of which are case reports, and most gynecologic oncologists will go through their whole careers without seeing a single case.
