Pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma responsive to chemotherapy: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma (AS) is an extremely rare cancer with a poor prognosis. The presenting symptoms and imaging results are nonspecific and hold similarities with more common lung pathology, contributing to missed or delayed diagnosis. Complementing radiological imaging with patient information, such as presenting symptoms and exposures, is important for early consideration of pulmonary epithelioid AS. Even with supportive imaging findings and clinical suspicion for pulmonary epithelioid AS, the most reliable and definitive method for diagnosis is through immunohistochemistry. We describe the case of a 65-year-old patient who presented with dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis in whom pauci-immune vasculitis was initially suspected before immunohistochemical diagnosis of primary pulmonary epithelioid AS. Due to the rarity of this disease, treatment options have not been well-studied and consist of any combination of surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Although typically poorly responsive to chemotherapy, our patient achieved a reduction in size of his pulmonary nodules after a course of steroids followed by cyclophosphamide and was later maintained with gemcitabine and docetaxel until his death nearly a year after presentation.
