Case Report: Bowel obstruction caused by an adult fibrosarcoma located in the pelvis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Adult fibrosarcoma (FS) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). These tumors most commonly occur in the extremities and present as painless, enlarging masses; primary FS arising whin the abdominal cavity or pelvis represents an exceptionally uncommon entity, with limited documented cases. Case presentation: We report a case of primary pelvic adult FS in a 52-year-old male who presented with persistent abdominal pain and bowel obstruction. Abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) revealed a large, round, mixed-density mass occupying the pelvis, with suspected involvement of adjacent organs. Final histopathological diagnosis of adult FS was confirmed following comprehensive immunohistochemical workup. Conclusion: This case dramatically underscores the critical importance for gastrointestinal surgeons and oncologists to maintain awareness of rare STS like FS in patients presenting with unexplained abdominal symptoms or obstruction. Early recognition, facilitated by advanced imaging and meticulous pathology, and the multidisciplinary management strategy are paramount to optimizing outcomes in these diagnostically challenging and aggressive tumors.
