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
Primary liposarcoma of the breast is an uncommon soft tissue malignant tumor, comprising only 0.003% of all malignant breast tumors. The main differential diagnosis of this mass consists of malignant phyllodes tumor and metaplastic breast carcinoma. The objective of this paper is to report a case of dedifferentiated breast liposarcoma, therapeutic approach and outcome. We present a case of a 79-year-old woman complaining of a large mass in her left breast which had increased in size over the last 6 months. Physical examination revealed an enlarged left breast, and a total body CT scan showed a large tumor in contact with the musculature of the anterior thoracic wall, with no metastatic lesions. The histopathology report of a fine needle biopsy described a high-grade sarcoma. The Oncological Tumor Board recommended neoadjuvant radiotherapy sessions and reevaluation by MRI and CT scans. The patient underwent radical mastectomy with latissimus dorsi myo-cutaneous flap reconstruction. The final histopathology diagnosis was a grade 3 dedifferentiated liposarcoma (FNCLCC), with certain response to radiotherapy and positive MDM2, CDK4 markers. The postoperative period was uneventful; 12 months after surgery, the follow-up CT scan showed multiple pulmonary lesions with metastatic characteristics. Liposarcoma is a very rare type of breast cancer, and the most important treatment for breast sarcoma is surgery, the role of axillary lymph node removal, chemotherapy and radiotherapy still being controversial. Considering such cases are scarce and the development of surgical guidelines is difficult, reporting any new case is crucial.
