Reconstruction options in recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans:A scoping review.
Article in Rare tumors, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: This review will outline the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and emphasizes multidisciplinary role of nurses, plastic surgeons and radiation oncologist in this recurrent metastatic lesion. It pinpoints affected population at risk, clinical features, and reconstruction options. No analytical research has been done in this area. Material and Methods: A scoping review of patients of DFSP who underwent reconstruction after excision of tumors was performed in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, AIIMS Rishikesh. It used a five framework approach. A review of 85 similar cases reported in the literature have been scrutinized in relation to the reconstruction options, sites of the tumor, margins of excision and recurrence. Results: 85 full length English studies were included out of the 445 cases found in Pubmed and related search engines to reveal various reconstructive options in reconstruction of DFSP defects. Present scoping review identifies free anterolateral thigh flap to be useful in 7 review articles followed by propeller flaps in 3 isolated case reports. 2 cases of free latissimus dorsi flap were used for reconstruction of abdominal defects.
