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 aggressive neoplasms that arise from endothelial cells and can develop in any part of the body. Gastrointestinal angiosarcomas are very uncommon and can have a variable clinical presentation. We report a case of an 84-year-old female who presented with acute blood loss anemia. She underwent a gastrointestinal workup with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), which revealed two polyps in the stomach. Histologic evaluation of the polyps was indicative of angiosarcoma, and the diagnosis was eventually confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis with positive CD31, ERG, and FLI1 stains. This case is reported to demonstrate the importance of considering angiosarcoma in the differential for patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding.
