A Case of Recurrent Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans With Fibrosarcomatous Transformation.

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
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma with a generally low risk for metastasis. Most individuals are diagnosed with this neoplasm in the third or fourth decade of life, with the growth usually being no larger than 5 cm in maximum diameter at the time of diagnosis. The majority of these patients are treated with wide local excision, with most experiencing no recurrence or metastasis. There are, however, cases of DFSP that are characterized by the presence of a high-grade fibrosarcomatous component, which represents a more ominous finding and exhibits a far more troubling course. To underscore the difference in the two presentations, we report a case of DFSP with fibrosarcomatous transformation in a 45-year-old man with two previous excisions. The size of the lesion, along with other characteristic findings, has been shown to worsen prognosis and increase risk of metastasis. Therefore, further research into the condition and therapeutic modalities to help patients is warranted.
