High-grade pleomorphic sarcoma associated with an orthopedic implant: a rare case report.
Article in Oxford medical 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
The use of prosthetic implants and metallic materials is widespread in modern orthopedic surgery. Generally, these materials are non-toxic and inert. Nevertheless, a few cases of malignancy associated with certain implants have been documented in the literature. It has been reported that some components of these implants have carcinogenic properties. In most cases, these tumors are high-grade sarcomas that occur in the bone or soft tissue adjacent to the implant site. Here we present the case of a 53-year-old patient who underwent intramedullary nailing of the tibia and developed a pleomorphic sarcoma at the implant site 18 years later.
