CT imaging of an unusual malignant inguinal mass: metastatic parafunicular dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
A man in his 50s was redirected by his general practitioner to our University Hospital for a radiological evaluation after the complaint of a left inguinal swelling. The preliminary ultrasound and CT scan showed a left parafunicolar mass located between the root of the penis and the spermatic cord. The lesion was biopsied shortly after and histologically diagnosed as a dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The patient underwent a cycle of neoadjuvant radiotherapy, which proved to be ineffective. He was then subjected to an organ sparing surgical removal of the mass, followed by a second organ sparing removal of some residual disease. The last CT scan showed absence of the inguinal disease; however, lung and hepatic metastasis were detected, which are scheduled to be treated with a course of chemotherapy and radiofrequency.
