Intracranial leiomyosarcoma: a neuro-oncological consequence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Leiomyosarcoma has recently been identified as an AIDS-related tumor, usually occurring in children in the chest or abdomen. We describe a case of intracranial leiomyosarcoma in an adult with AIDS. An enhancing mass adjacent to the right occipital cortical surface was diagnosed during a work-up for left arm weakness. Imaging characteristics were suggestive of a malignant neoplasm versus meningioma. The patient had a craniotomy for total excision of the lesion. Pathology showed a leiomyosarcoma. Metastatic work-up was negative. The patient refused radiation therapy, but is well without evidence of recurrence at 8 months follow-up. The differential diagnosis for intracranial lesions in AIDS should be expanded to include leiomyosarcoma. Surgical resection of the lesion is recommended.
