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 are soft-tissue neoplasms that originate from the vascular epithelium. The most commonly involved sites include the skin and subcutaneous tissues. In the GI tract, generally, angiosarcomas involve the spleen and liver, although locations in the small intestine and colon have been very occasionally reported. In the present study we report the unusual case of a man with duodenal epithelioid angiosarcoma, presenting with anemia and recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which was initially misdiagnosed as a Dieulafoy's lesion. It is important to consider the diagnosis of gastrointestinal malignancy, including unusual neoplasms such as angiosarcomas, in the setting of anendoscopic appearance such as hemorrhagic nodule, purpuric mass and/or recurrent bleeding lesions that are persistent despite repeat interventions. In such cases, a biopsy should be considered to confirm the diagnosis.
