Interscapular-thoracic Amputation: A Giant Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans Tumor.
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2023. 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
Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), an uncommon sarcoma of the dermis, is a low-grade, spindle-cell tumor that usually grows slowly and has a high local recurrence rate, but rarely metastasizes to distant sites. The diagnosis is based on histopathology and the standard treatment is wide surgical excision with tumor-free margins. Case Report: Described is the case of a 75-year-old female who presented with a giant tumor on her upper right arm that had been increasing in size for a year. A biopsy provided the diagnosis of DFSP. Radical surgery was performed and the arm was disarticulated from the scapula. Conclusion: Treatment for DFSP typically involves surgical excision; however, the size of the tumor in the present case was exceptionally large. Disarticulation offered the best prognosis.
