1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 angiosarcoma (EA) is a kind of rare malignant soft tissue sarcoma, with high recurrence/metastatic rate and poor prognosis. To date, no effective standardized treatment regimen has been available for patients with recurrence/metastatic EA. Everolimus is an oral rapamycin derivative that highly inhibits the mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR) signal pathway. Previous studies have suggested that everolimus is effective and safe in some soft tissue sarcoma. We reported two cases with recurrence/metastatic EA, who received everolimus after failure of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or interventional therapy. Two cases obtained clinical benefit within 1 week, and were evaluated as partial response (PR). The progression free survival (PFS) time was nearly 12.0 and 6.0 months, respectively. The overall survival (OS) time was 18.0 and 10.0 months, respectively. The main adverse event was stomatitis syndrome (grade 1-2), which was well controllable and tolerable. It indicated that everolimus may be more beneficial for recurrence/metastatic EA patients.
