Use of Ultrasound for Evaluation of a Large Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma in the Lower Extremity of an Elderly Male.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Soft tissue sarcomas arise infrequently and make up less than 1% of all cancers. An undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), formerly known as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a malignant subtype of soft tissue sarcoma identified by a lack of specific immunohistochemical markers for lineage differentiation. These tumors are aggressive and enlarge rapidly with an increased risk of metastasis, thus prompt diagnosis, treatment, and post-resection surveillance are imperative. This case report demonstrates an incidental finding of a large undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the posterior thigh in an 86-year-old male initially evaluated with a bedside ultrasound.
