Sporadic Case of Breast Angiosarcoma as a Complication of Radiotherapy Following Breast-Conserving Surgery for Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer.

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
backgroundAngiosarcomas are highly aggressive and malignant blood vessel tumors. Rarely, angiosarcomas develop in the breast following conservative therapy, namely radiotherapy. CASE REPORT: A 70-year-old female patient presented with dark purple discoloration of the skin of the right breast. 6 years earlier, the patient had undergone conservative surgery for invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast. According to the breast-conserving surgery protocol, the patient had been treated with radiotherapy to the residual breast tissue. The patient's annual mammograms and ultrasound findings were normal. The skin lesion was superficially localized mostly at the border between the upper and lower medial quadrants of the breast (between 2 and 4 o'clock) and above the areola. The borders were uneven; the dimensions were 7 cm × 4 cm. The mammogram was classified as Breast Imaging Report and Data System (BI-RADS) 2. Ultrasound examination showed a well-vascularized structure, although the etiology was unclear. A tissue biopsy revealed angiosarcoma. The patient underwent radical simplex mastectomy. Following surgery, the patient underwent chemotherapy. Tests excluded metastases for a follow-up period of 5 years.
conclusionAngiosarcomas that develop after radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery are sporadic, but it is important to take this possible incident into consideration during treatment.
