Tolerability and Outcomes for Treatment of Older Myxoid Liposarcoma Population.
Article in Cancers, 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
backgroundMyxoid liposarcoma predominantly affects young and middle-aged individuals, and little is known regarding treatment tolerability and outcomes in older patients. This study aims to better understand this older patient population.
methodsThis single institution retrospective study included patients aged 70 years and older with localized (non-metastatic) myxoid liposarcoma.
resultsSixteen patients were included. The median age was 75 years, and 9 (56%) were female. Fourteen (88%) were extremity tumors and two (12%) were trunk. The median tumor size was 10.4 cm (range, 3.6 to 28 cm). Five (31%) tumors had a round cell component. All patients had surgery. Fourteen (88%) had perioperative radiation, and three (19%) had perioperative chemotherapy. One patient had postoperative infection, and one patient had neutropenic fever from preoperative chemotherapy. The median follow up from surgery was 6.3 years. Eight (50%) patients died from MLPS. The median relapse-free survival and overall survival were 34 months and 75 months, respectively.
conclusionsMost older patients with localized MLPS received perioperative radiation therapy with surgery, and few serious toxicities were reported. Even with treatment, half of the patients relapsed.
