Herald bleeding from a ruptured primary hepatic angiosarcoma: A case report.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Primary hepatic angiosarcomas (PHAs) are rare tumours with an estimated annual incidence of 0.05 per million in the Caribbean, which is similar to that reported in Western countries. Although a number of cases are detected post-mortem, the most common clinical presentation is with tumour rupture and herald bleeding. This is the case report of a 60-year old female patient who presented with vague upper abdominal pain, found via imaging examinations to be due to a ruptured hepatic tumour in segment III of the liver. The tumour was removed via laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy, with clear resection margins. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination established the diagnosis of PHA. Therefore, an index of suspicion should be maintained in selected patients and, when detected ante-mortem, PHAs should be treated aggressively with complete surgical resection to achieve microscopically clear margins, as the response of these tumours to other forms of adjuvant therapy may be unpredictable.
