The computed tomographic findings of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to analyse the computed tomographic (CT) findings of pulmonary epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe CT features and clinical presentations of six patients (five women, one man; mean age, 53 years) with pathology-proven pulmonary EHE were reviewed. Noncontrast CT images were available for three patients and enhanced CT images for three patients. The image characteristics included the number of tumours, tumour location and size, tumour margins, the presence of calcification/necrosis/cavity, the presence of perivascular location, the presence of pleural lesions, tumour homogeneity at contrast-enhanced CT, tumour enhancement relative to the adjacent muscle and the presence of extrapulmonary lesions.
resultsMultiple nodules/masses with irregular margin were shown in all cases, and reticulonodular opacities and ground-glass opacities were found in one case. Overall, the six cases showed 178 nodules/masses, 90 % (160/178) of which were <1 cm in diameter. The average size of the largest nodules/masses in each case was 2.7 cm. The nodules/masses were mostly (93 %, 166/178) located in the subpleural region (<2 cm from the pleura). A total of 48 % (86/178) of nodules/masses showed punctate calcification in four of six cases. All nodules/masses showed perivascular location. Pleural indentation was shown in all cases, as well as pleural-thickening in five cases and pleural effusion in two cases. On contrast-enhanced CT, EHE showed a mildly heterogeneous hyperdense appearance.
conclusionsWith predilection for subpleural and perivascular location, typical pulmonary EHE appears as multiple irregular nodules with punctate calcification and pleural indentation.
