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 haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare low-grade vascular neoplasm that is composed of mostly epithelioid cells. EHE may arise as a solitary tumour or in the form of multiple body lesions, and commonly occurs in soft tissues, liver, pleura, lung, peritoneum, lymph nodes, breast, and many other sites. EHE in the cranionasal region is extremely rare. There are very few reports of cases of skull-base EHE. We discuss an extremely rare presentation of an aggressive EHE that originated from the sellar region. Based on literature review, our patient is the first reported case of a giant solitary EHE with prepontine cistern invasion and abducens nerve encroachment mimicking a chondrosarcoma. We treated this rare tumour by near subtotal surgical excision with subsequent radiotherapy, considering that complete tumour resection with free margins in both cavernous sinus and clival region avoiding neural and vascular structure encroachment becomes technically difficult.
