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

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma is a rare angiogenic tumour originating from vascular endothelial or pre-endothelial cells, and it can occur anywhere in the body, such as the liver, lung, bone, spleen, lymph nodes, parotid gland, and thyroid. In the fifth revision of the WHO classification, epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) was described as a malignant vascular neoplasm composed of epithelioid endothelial cells, distinct from epithelioid angiosarcoma. We, herein, report one patient with EHE of the left upper mediastinum who underwent resection and radiotherapy during the first therapeutic process. Multiple metastases occurred in the thoracic vertebrae 6 years later, and resection and multiple radiotherapies were performed. The condition of the patient remained stable at the last review in October 2020, and it has been more than 8 years since her first admission. The reasonable "take-away" lessons from the case are active treatment and prolonged surveillance.
