Muscle strength and functional recovery for soft-tissue sarcoma of the thigh: a prospective study.
Article in International journal of clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06873685 (Soft Tissue Sarcoma), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate changes in muscle strength and functional outcome before and after surgery for soft-tissue sarcoma of the thigh and to examine the timing of recovery.
methodsFrom 2014 to 2019, 15 patients who underwent multiple resections of the thigh muscle for soft-tissue sarcoma of the thigh were included in this study. The muscle strength was measured with an isokinetic dynamometer for the knee joint and with a hand-held dynamometer for the hip joint. The functional outcome assessment was based on the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), and maximum walking speed (MWS). All measurements were conducted preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively, and the ratio of postoperative to preoperative value was used. A repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed to compare changes over time and to investigate the recovery plateau. Correlations between changes in muscle strength and functional outcomes were also examined.
resultsThe muscle strength of the affected limb, MSTS score, TESS, EQ-5D, and MWS were significantly decreased at 3 months postoperatively. The recovery plateau was subsequently reached at 12 months postoperatively. The changes in muscle strength of the affected limb and functional outcome showed a significant correlation.
conclusionsThe estimated postoperative recovery for soft-tissue sarcoma of the thigh is 12 months after surgery.
