Splenic Angiosarcoma with Bone Marrow Involvement Initially Diagnosed as Systemic Mastocytosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We describe the case of a 67-year-old female patient presenting with constitutional symptoms and rapid decline. Two bone marrow core biopsies were performed, with spindled cells identified and thought to represent marrow involvement by systemic mastocytosis on the first biopsy. A diagnosis of metastatic vascular malignancy with sarcomatoid features was favored on the second core biopsy. The patient rapidly deteriorated and passed away. The post-mortem examination revealed a splenic angiosarcoma with metastasis to the liver and bone marrow. Splenic angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive entity, with bone marrow metastasis even more uncommon. This report perceives this as a diagnostic consideration on bone marrow biopsies with spindled cells and explores the diagnostic dilemma and overlapping features of systemic mastocytosis and angiosarcoma.
