Surgical treatment of asymptomatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma originating from the superior vena cava: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
rationaleEpithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare endothelial tumor with a low-grade malignancy. This tumor can be treated with complete resection. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 20-year-old Korean man visited our hospital due to an abnormal finding on standing chest PA X-ray. He did not have any past medical history. DIAGNOSIS: Chest computed tomography shows a well-defined, oval-shaped tumor invading the brachiocephalic vein and superior vena cava. A malignant tumor of vascular origin was diagnosed by a percutaneous needle biopsy.
interventionsWe performed en-bloc resection including the great vessels for complete resection of the tumor. Histologic evaluation confirmed the lesion to be a hemangioendothelioma and the surgical margins were free from tumor invasion. OUTCOMES: Fourteen days later, the patient was discharged without any complication. Thirty months after surgery, recurrences, or metastasis were not detected. LESSONS: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare malignant endothelial tumor in the central vein. Surgery is the treatment of choice and shows good results. We introduce and appropriate surgical method to ensure successful treatment for rare disease.
