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

Primary breast angiosarcoma (PBA) is a rare malignant tumor. PBA usually undergoes hematogenous metastasis; lymph node metastasis is very rare in such patients, and metastasis of PBA to the supraclavicular lymph nodes has not previously been reported. Here, we describe a rare case of PBA manifested by a diffuse enlargement of the left breast, with metastasis to the left axillary and bilateral supraclavicular lymph nodes. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and positron emission tomography findings indicated a malignant lesion, whereas magnetic resonance imaging suggested a benign lesion. Core needle biopsy identified the lesion as a lymphangioma, and the histological characteristics suggested a high-grade angiosarcoma. Multimodal imaging and perfusion patterns obtained using various contrast agents can thus help to diagnose PBA.
