A rare case of calcified metastasis in a patient with primary osseous Ewing's sarcoma.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2025. 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
We report an unusual case of an 11-year-old male with Ewing's sarcoma of the right fibula who presented 6 years post-remission with progressive dyspnea, fever, and swelling of the right ankle. Imaging revealed multiple partially calcified "cannonball" pulmonary metastases and a large, partially ossified, pleura-based mediastinal mass-an atypical metastatic presentation for this tumor. Histopathological confirmation was essential due to the diagnostic challenge posed by the calcifications, which are typically associated with infection or other malignancies. This case highlights the importance of considering atypical metastatic presentations in Ewing's sarcoma and emphasizes a multimodal diagnostic approach. The findings contribute to the sparse literature on calcified metastases in Ewing's sarcoma, calling for further research to understand the mechanisms and clinical significance of such presentations.
