Giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma measuring 27 × 29 × 36 cm: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. 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
Retroperitoneal tumors are rare neoplasms that can reach great dimensions due to a slow growth pattern. Although these tumors rarely metastasize, they have a great risk of recurrence, and majority of times these lesions are a challenge for the surgeon. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of large bowel obstruction and was diagnosed with a large heterogenous mass located in the retroperitoneal space. The fine needle biopsy revealed the histology of liposarcoma. The purpose of this article is to report our approach in management of this kind of tumor. Tumor size (27.1 × 29.1 × 36.1 cm) and involvement to the adjacent organs was a challenge for us in order to reach safe oncological margins. In these cases, the risk of recurrence is high; therefore, the patient should be screened at 6, 12 and 24 months post procedure. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy for this tumor is not yet defined, and if operable, surgery is the treatment of choice.
