Iodine-125 brachytherapy for orbital-invasive low-grade myxofibrosarcoma of the maxillary sinus: a case report challenging conventional therapeutic paradigms.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Low-grade myxofibrosarcoma (LGMFS) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma, with an estimated incidence of approximately 0.18 cases per million population, accounting for about 0.6% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is characterized by a high local recurrence rate and malignant potential. Orbital involvement secondary to maxillary sinus LGMFS represents an exceptionally rare occurrence. The management of such cases is complicated by anatomical complexity (e.g., proximity to optic nerve, lacrimal apparatus, and orbital vasculature) and limitations of conventional therapies, including radical resection combined with chemoradiation. In this anatomically complex case of recurrent Low-Grade Myxofibrosarcoma, iodine-125 brachytherapy achieved durable local control (12-month progression-free survival), demonstrating superior precision targeting and reduced systemic toxicity compared to conventional therapies. No acute radiation toxicity was observed, while facial swelling and eye pain were relieved with concurrent improvement in visual function.
