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

Angiosarcomas of the breast are extremely rare, highly aggressive tumors of vascular origin comprising 0.04% of all malignant neoplasms of the breast. They can be classified into primary mammary angiosarcomas and cutaneous (secondary) angiosarcomas. Primary angiosarcomas, owing to their unusual clinical presentation, are diagnosed late. In addition, the available literature to date lacks sufficient evidence to establish standard treatment guidelines for this group of tumors, thereby resulting in poor prognosis. In medical database, most available papers concern secondary angiosarcomas, with only a few case reports of primary angiosarcomas. The aim of this paper is to review what is known hitherto about the presentation, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic modalities for primary mammary angiosarcomas.
