Vascular Proximity Increases the Risk of Local Recurrence in Soft-Tissue Sarcomas of the Thigh-A Retrospective MRI Study.
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The aim of this study was to establish the prognostic effects of the proximity of the tumor to the main vessels in patients affected by soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the thigh. A total of 529 adult patients with deeply seated STS of the thigh and popliteal fossa were included. Vascular proximity was defined on MRI: type 1 > 5 mm; type 2 ≤ 5 mm and >0 mm; type 3 close to the tumor; type 4 enclosed by the tumor. Proximity to major vessels type 1-2 had a local recurrence (LR) rate lower than type 3-4 (
