Primary breast angiosarcoma with disseminated intravascular coagulation is successfully treated with self-subcutaneous unfractionated heparin calcium injection: A case report.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Angiosarcoma is a rare sarcoma with a poor prognosis and is prone to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), where DIC often interferes with chemotherapy. Primary angiosarcoma of the breast (PASB) is a type of angiosarcoma that is located in mammary parenchyma and is not associated with radiation exposure. The current study reported a 47-year-old female with DIC associated with PASB. The DIC of the patient relapsed during mono-chemotherapy with paclitaxel (PTX) after first-line anticoagulant therapy using thrombomodulin-α. The second-line danaparoid sodium therapy, followed by self-subcutaneous injection of unfractionated heparin calcium (UFH), resulted in long-term stabilization of DIC. Under this second-line anticoagulant therapy, the patient continued chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy for >13 months in the outpatient setting without impairment of quality of life. The present case suggested that self-subcutaneous injections of UFH may be a useful therapeutic option for long-term control of DIC associated with PASB. However, further prospective clinical trails are needed to verify the efficacy of self-subcutaneous injection of UFH in similar settings.
