Pleural epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: literature summary and novel case report.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 2015. 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
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare malignant cancer of vascular origin that can affect multiple and varied tissue sites. A subtype of EHE, pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PHE), is more unusual with only 200 reported cases. Of these, only 27 have been classified as pleural in origin. Based on available literature, the average age of presentation of pleural PHE is 45.7 years with a male preponderance of 2.375. A summary of all published case reports reveals significant heterogeneity both in presentation and management. Here we add to this knowledge-base with a report of an unusual case of pleural PHE in a 36-year-old female who presented with a 6-week history of chest pain and breathlessness. Significant challenges in the diagnosis and management of patients with pleural PHE exist, including a wide initial differential diagnosis and difficulties in obtaining tissue specimens, coupled with relatively limited treatment options. Early referral to a cardiothoracic center for video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy is crucial in facilitating a diagnosis and allowing adequate pleural drainage for symptomatic relief.
