Extraosseous Ewing Sarcoma in a 28-Year-Old Male: A Case Report and Literature Review.

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
Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an uncommon and highly aggressive bone malignancy that predominantly occurs in children and young adults. Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (EES), an even rarer variant, can present in the soft tissues instead of bone. In this case report, we detail a previously healthy 28-year-old male presenting with an isolated enlarged left inguinal lymph node, subsequently diagnosed as EES. The patient presented with a three-month history of a non-tender, gradually enlarging lump in the left groin. Fine needle aspiration revealed a small round blue cell tumor with a high Ki-67 score, and subsequent excisional biopsy identified a rare genetic fusion mutation. Postoperative positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan did not show any fludeoxyglucose F18 (FDG) uptake lesions to suggest residual malignancy. The patient is currently awaiting chemotherapy. Throughout the discussion of this case, we highlight the importance of considering EES in the differential diagnosis of isolated lymph node enlargement, the role of genetic testing in diagnosis, and the treatment modalities offered.
