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

Primary breast angiosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor type (0.05% of primary breast cancers) for which diagnosis can be difficult. They arise within the breast parenchyma and typically present as a breast mass. Here, we present the case of a 30-year-old female with spontaneous hypervascular skin on her right breast with progressive enlargement presenting as an expanding hematoma. A chest computed tomography revealed a hypervascular mass in the right breast abutting the pectoralis muscle and cystic changes within the mass. A core needle biopsy revealed an angiosarcoma. In this case study, we report a patient who, with no history of any known risk factors, presented with a benign vascular skin lesion as the first sign of angiosarcoma followed by an expanding hematoma, which is an extremely rare manifestation of the disease. Microscopic examination demonstrated a low-grade angiosarcoma on the skin, while a high-grade angiosarcoma was found in the breast parenchyma.
