An Unexpected Cause of Syncope.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Syncope is a common chief complaint among patients presenting to the emergency department, the etiology of which can often be discerned with a thorough history and physical examination. Inversely, liposarcomas are rare tumors that frequently pose a diagnostic challenge as the clinical presentation is highly nonspecific and varies greatly depending on the anatomic location and size of the tumor. Here we present a case of retroperitoneal liposarcomas (RLS) presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a sole complaint of syncope, resulting in a diagnostic dilemma. This clinical scenario highlights the significance of thorough physical examination regardless of the presenting chief complaint, as unexpected physical examination findings prompted an extended work-up and thus facilitated the diagnosis, providing the opportunity for early intervention and resection of the tumor.
