Metastasis from a primary hepatic angiosarcoma to the colon: A case report and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 angiosarcoma is a rare type of tumor with a poor prognosis. To the best of our knowledge, curative surgery of a metastatic gastrointestinal angiosarcoma from a hepatic angiosarcoma has not been reported previously. In the present report, a case of colonic metastasis from a primary hepatic angiosarcoma is discussed. A rapidly growing mass was identified in the liver of an 84-year-old Japanese male who underwent a subsegmentectomy of the liver. Microscopic examination determined that the mass was an angiosarcoma composed of sheets of spindle cells. Immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis with positive CD31 staining, which indicated the endothelial nature of the malignancy. A total of 14 months following surgery, the patient did not exhibit any symptoms; however, follow-up positron emission tomography and computed tomography images revealed a mass in the cecum. The patient underwent an ileocolectomy, and the microscopic and immunohistochemical findings indicated that the mass was a metastasized colorectal angiosarcoma. At a 4-year post-surgery follow-up appointment the patient was alive with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis.
