Intraperitoneal Liposarcoma: A Case Report and Literature Review of a Rare Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Liposarcoma is a rare soft-tissue neoplasm originating from adipocytes. The exact cause of liposarcoma is unknown and symptoms vary depending on the tumor's location. A 49-year-old man presented to the emergency room complaining of epigastric pain radiating to the back and right upper quadrant. Cross-sectional imaging revealed a large upper abdominal mass that was thought to be a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) arising from the duodenum at first. The patient underwent en-bloc resection of the mass and was planned for adjuvant chemotherapy. Subsequently, multiple tissue samples were examined, leading to the final diagnosis of de-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient eventually developed multiple recurrences and was subjected to re-resection surgeries and three different chemotherapy regimens. Given the rarity of the disease, no standardized therapy plan is available, highlighting the need for more case reports/series and trials to broaden our understanding of this disease.
