Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma in the anterior mediastinum: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Primary undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) in the mediastinum is exceptionally rare. This paper reports a unique case of anterior mediastinal UPS in an 84-year-old Asian male presenting with recurrent upper respiratory tract infections and upper abdominal discomfort. Imaging via CT and MRI suggested an invasive thymoma, but postoperative pathology confirmed UPS. Despite radical surgery, local recurrence occurred within three months, and palliative radiotherapy was ineffective. This case provides the first comprehensive imaging data of UPS in the anterior mediastinum, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy for clinicians and radiologists by summarizing imaging features across various modalities.
