Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma: a case report and literature review.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma is a rare disorder arising from the intima of the pulmonary artery. Histopathology reveals that it is a tumour cell of mesenchymal origin. The signs and symptoms include chronic shortness of breath and other features of right ventricular failure, which mimic chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. The definitive diagnosis can rarely be made based on the symptoms and signs alone, and other investigations including echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) are often required. The gold standard for diagnosis is tissue biopsy. The mainstay for treatment is surgery, and complete surgical resection with endarterectomy provides survival benefit. According to recent evidences, however, multimodal treatment provides better survival outcomes than monotherapy such as surgery alone. Despite the newer upcoming treatment strategies, patients with pulmonary intimal sarcoma continue to have a poor prognosis. We present a case of pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma and review the literature associated with the disease.
