High-Grade Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Arising From Common Peroneal Nerve Neurofibroma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This article presents a case report of a 45-year-old male with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) who developed a high-grade malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) originating from a neurofibroma within the common peroneal nerve over popliteal fossa. MPNSTs are aggressive tumors associated with NF1, causing significant mortality. The patient underwent tumor resection surgery and received postoperative radiation therapy. Follow-up examinations showed no impairment of motor function and no tumor recurrence after regular MRI evaluation for four years. This article explores the challenges of distinguishing benign neurofibromas from malignant MPNST via MRI image and biopsy, and achieving a balance between tumor excision and preserving nerve functionality during surgical treatment. However, caution is warranted due to the risk of recurrence.
