Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of gastrointestinal tract with two emerging distinct subtypes: a case report and systemic review.
Synthesis in Diagnostic pathology, 2022. 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
backgroundFollicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. FDCS of gastrointestinal tract (GI) are exceedingly uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the first case of classic type FDCS in a 34-year-old male with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, which presented as a mass at the ileo-cecal junction. He received no further treatment after resection and remained disease free for 3.5 years. We further analyze and review the clinical and pathologic findings of 33 cases of GI tract FDCS reported in the literature.
conclusionsThere are two distinct subtypes of FDCS in the GI tract: the classic type occurs in relatively younger patients (mean = 45.3 years) without Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) association, and behaves more aggressively; the inflammatory subtype presents as colonic polypoid tumor in older patients (mean = 60.7 years) and is EBV positive. The clinical outcome in the latter group appears favorable although mortality rate is not necessarily low.
