Giant Cell Tumor of Soft Tissue-A Rare Cause of Mass in the Liver: A Case Report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 giant cell tumors of soft tissues (GCT-STs) are extremely rare soft tissue tumors located both in superficial and in deep soft tissues. Clinically, GCT-ST manifests as a slow-growing, well-defined, painless mass. We report a case of an 88-year-old female patient with upper abdominal distension, fever, and anemia. Laparoscopic exploration revealed a tumor located in the left lobe of the liver with localized rupture and hemorrhage. Postoperative pathology revealed that the tumor was composed of monocytes and osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells, accompanied by extensive hemorrhage, necrosis, and cytologic atypia. Because mitotic cells are difficult to be detected in pathological diagnosis, combined with immunohistochemistry, the tumor was diagnosed as a giant cell tumor of soft tissue. This case report highlights the primary choice of histology and immunohistochemistry for the correct diagnosis of GCT-ST because preoperative radiological diagnosis is nonspecific and prone to mistakes.
