A large dedifferentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma extended to the testis: a rare 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 2 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
Liposarcomas are neoplasms of mesodermal origin representing less than 1% of all malignant tumors and 1 to 2% of urogenital lesions. Primary retroperitoneal liposarcomas extending into the inguinal canal are rare. We present the case of a large retroperitoneal liposarcoma invading the left testicle and its spermatic cord. It was diagnosed by imaging as a large mass that compresses surrounding abdominal structures and communicating with the inguinal canal. A surgical intervention consisting of en bloc resection of the tumor and the left testicle with its cord was performed by 2 routes, intercostal and inguinal. Histology showed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, which is a rare entity with a high rate of malignancy and a poor prognosis. The treatment of choice is wide surgical resection with clear margins; chemotherapy and radiotherapy are less sensitive. The patient did not manifest any particular complaints during the first six months after surgery.
