A Case Report and Review of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges of a Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor in the Foot.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are rare. It is a soft tissue carcinoma with an aggressive nature, and it is usually associated with a poor prognosis. Common clinical presentations may include local pain, weakness, a growing mass, tingling, and numbness due to the compression of adjacent nerves or tissues, as well as weakness in affected nerves. Radiological assessment tools, such as magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological analysis, can confirm the diagnosis of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. A multidisciplinary approach can manage these tumors with a timely follow-up to improve the outcomes. This is the case report of a 56-year-old female with a painless lesion on her left foot for 15 years, which recently started causing pain and a sticky discharge over the past six months. The patient was later diagnosed with a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor on histopathological examination, which was managed by forefoot excision without any complications. The patient recovered well at the three-month follow-up with no new complaints.
