Resection with limb salvage in an Asian male adolescent with Ewing's sarcoma: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundEwing's sarcoma is a highly malignant primary bone tumor that commonly affects children. For young patients, multidisciplinary treatment and limb salvage are recommended, and surgical plans considering the growth potential and bone activity after tumor resection are essential. CASE SUMMARY: An 11-year-old Asian boy had a 1-mo history of a right-sided limping gait. Imaging revealed a proximal tumor with bone destruction and physeal involvement over the right femoral neck. He was diagnosed with stage IV (T1N0M1aG3) Ewing's sarcoma with bilateral lung metastases. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy decreased the tumor size and confined it to the metaphyseal region. The patient underwent four stages of surgery: wide tumor excision plus reconstruction with vascular fibular bone graft plus internal fixation; repeat open reduction and internal fixation; femoral lengthening with orthosis after physeal maturity; and orthosis removal and bone elongation (approximately 6 cm). Following surgery, he could walk without discomfort and had almost equal-sized bilateral femoral heads, indicating physis preservation. The surgery was successful, and normal femoral head growth was achieved after complete remission. The patient was able to resume normal activities with equal length of the bilateral lower limbs.
conclusionTumor treatment and reconstruction following resection are important in skeletally immature patients with Ewing's sarcoma to improve quality of life.
