First Radiologic Description of CIC-FOXO4 Sarcoma: A Case Report of a Rare and Aggressive Sarcoma and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 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
CIC-rearranged sarcomas are a recently recognized subset of undifferentiated round cell sarcomas, distinct from Ewing sarcoma in both clinical behavior and molecular profile. While CIC-DUX4 is the most described fusion, CIC-FOXO4 is exceedingly rare, with only a handful of reported cases. We report a 47-year-old male with a 3.6 cm intramuscular mass in the left lateral abdominal wall. Molecular testing confirmed a CIC-FOXO4 sarcoma. The lesion was surgically excised and showed predominant epithelioid morphology within a desmoplastic fibrous stroma. The patient is alive with disease, developing three metastatic pulmonary nodules six months after initial presentation, for which he received adjuvant chemotherapy. To our knowledge, this represents the sixth reported case of CIC-FOXO4 sarcoma in the English literature and the first with radiologic description. This case adds to the limited radiologic literature on this rare entity and emphasizes the importance of including CIC-rearranged sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of atypical soft tissue masses.
