Cutaneous carcinosarcoma: a rare diagnosis.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Carcinosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that is a combination of carcinoma (cancer of epithelial tissue) and sarcoma (cancer of mesenchymal tissue). In practice, it is more common to have either carcinoma or sarcoma individually, but it is novel to have a combination of the two; as a result, few cases have been reported. Carcinosarcoma typically occurs in visceral organs and is rare in the skin. We present the case of a 68-year-old man with a lesion on his left zygomatic cheek that was revealed to be a biphasic malignant neoplasm. Multiple stains provided evidence of both epithelial and mesenchymal components within the lesion. Treatment for such a diagnosis typically involves a combination of wide local excision or plastic surgery for reconstruction purposes, both of which were used with this patient. This case describes the identification of cutaneous carcinosarcoma using immunohistochemical tests and emphasizes the uniqueness of such a diagnosis that requires early attention and appropriate selective treatment.
