Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma invading thoracic aorta treated by thoracic endovascular aortic repair: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundUndifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma arising from the posterior mediastinum and infiltrating the thoracic aorta is exceptionally rare, with few cases reported in scientific literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old Han Chinese man was admitted with persistent chest pain for 2 months; he had not received a diagnosis or treatment plan from the previous hospital. Firstly, thoracic endovascular aortic repair surgery was performed to safeguard the integrity of the thoracic aorta, followed by a biopsy to confirm undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. A chemotherapy plan was then established on the basis of the latest pathological results.
conclusionUndifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma is highly malignant, complicating diagnosis and treatment and often resulting in a poor prognosis. Invasion of the posterior mediastinum and aorta is exceptionally rare. An early thoracic endovascular aortic repair intervention to protect the aorta and cut tumor blood supply, followed by needle biopsy for diagnosis, offers an innovative approach that can guide clinical practice.
