Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: a case report of an abdominal wall mass and review of the literature.
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
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, slow-growing malignancy that often presents with an ambiguous clinical presentation due to its nonspecific findings. We present the case of a 41-year-old male who presented with a slow-growing mass on his abdomen that became protuberant and firm, prompting his desire to pursue excision. Upon return of histologic examination, the specimen was noted to be DFSP. DFSP is a rare cutaneous neoplasm that originates from the dermis and invades the underlying tissue creating a classic protuberant appearance. In some cases, chemotherapy and radiation may be indicated based on margins and locations. The sarcoma is notoriously complicated with early recurrence, making the disease process difficult to control. Surgeons should be familiar with this malignancy due to the indication of additional nonsurgical treatments and the necessity for long-term follow-up for surveillance of recurrence.
