Multidisciplinary Approach for a Rare Metastatic Low-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma to the Inferior Vena Cava and the Right Atrium.
Article in Cureus, 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
Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare, malignant tumor of the endometrium. Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) is a less aggressive subtype of ESS that rarely metastasizes to the heart and large blood vessels. In the present study, we report a case of recurrent LG-ESS after treating the initial mass in the uterus six years ago in a 49-year-old female who presented with a four-month history of dyspnea and easy fatigability. Investigations revealed a right pulmonary embolism, suspicious right psoas muscle mass, and a large inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus. One month later, she presented with multiple gastrointestinal symptoms and weight loss. Investigations then showed the development of a new right atrial mass, infra-diaphragmatic metastatic lymphadenopathy, progression of the presacral soft tissue component, invasion of the ileal bowel loop, and a tumoral thrombus in the IVC besides new metastatic lymphadenopathy and pulmonary metastasis. Therefore, a multidisciplinary team, which had a crucial role in this complicated case, decided to commence chemotherapy treatment. Such an unusual aggressive metastatic course of LG-ESS is limited in the literature; herein, we recognize a rarely documented disease.
