Hepatic angio-sarcoma: An unusual source of intra-hepatic bleeding.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2014. 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
introductionHepatic angio-sarcoma represents an uncommon malignant tumor of the liver with a poor prognosis and a high rate of bleeding complications. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of hepatic angio-sarcoma with a multi-nodular pattern complicated by intra-hepatic bleeding. The diagnosis was performed by computed tomography (CT). Angiographic procedure was unsuccessfully attempted as a treatment option. Autoptic examination confirmed the vascular nature of the malignant tumor. DISCUSSION: Hepatic angio-sarcoma represents the most common malignant mesenchymal tumor of the liver. The diagnosis is provided by the histological examination and by specific endothelial markers. However, CT examination allows to recognize the disease and to detect intra-abdominal bleeding occurring in one-fourth of cases. Surgical resection represents the only definitive treatment of hepatic angio-sarcoma. In case of haemoperitoneum, trans-catheter arterial embolization represents the primary procedure used to stop the acute arterial bleeding.
conclusionCT represents the reference technique for the diagnosis of hepatic angio-sarcoma and allows to recognize the intra-abdominal bleeding which represents its most common complication. This condition always requires an immediate therapeutic approach.
