Radiologically Occult Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor in a 36-Year-Old Man: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal malignancy that typically affects adolescents and young adults. We report an unusual case of a 36-year-old man who presented with persistent left flank pain. Initial investigations, including colonoscopy and abdominal computed tomography, were unremarkable. One year later, repeat imaging revealed a large intra-abdominal mass associated with liver metastases. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of DSRCT. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of DSRCT, particularly when it occurs outside the usual age range and presents with non-specific symptoms. Persistent or unexplained symptoms should prompt repeat and advanced imaging, as well as early tissue diagnosis, to facilitate timely multidisciplinary management.
