Great saphenous vein leiomyosarcoma mimicking thrombosed aneurysm: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 2024. 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
Vascular leiomyosarcoma LMS. is an extremely rare subgroup of LMSs. Fewer than 50 cases of LMS originating from the great saphenous vein have been reported. In 43% of reported cases, LMS was misdiagnosed clinically. In our case, the patient was initially misdiagnosed as having a thrombosed aneurysm. This misdiagnosis could be due to the rarity of great saphenous vein LMS cases, for which a high index of suspicion is needed, and because no specific radiologic findings have been established for diagnosing LMSs. Masses presenting along the course of vessels should be suspected for malignancy, which can be helpful in performing definitive surgery and avoiding multiple surgeries.
