Giant primary liposarcoma of the mediastinum: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Liposarcoma is a carcinomatous mesenchymal tumor with various histologic features and is the most common soft tissue sarcoma originating in adipose tissue. Liposarcoma commonly occurs in the lower extremities and retroperitoneum but rarely in the mediastinum, specially extending into the thoracic cavity. We report a giant primary liposarcoma of the posterior mediastinum in a 63-year-old female who complained of cough, sputum, and pain in the right chest wall. A computed tomography scan of the chest showed a giant mass of 24 × 15 × 24 cm in the posterior mediastinum of the right thoracic cavity. After a thorough examination, no suspected lipomatous lesions were found elsewhere in the patient's body. The patient underwent a thoracotomy to remove the mediastinal mass through a right thoracic approach. Subsequently, hematoxylin-eosin staining revealed dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), immunohistochemistry showed positive expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4, and murine double minute 2 (MDM2), in addition, fluorescence
