Therapy of Angiosarcoma with Thalidomide and Lenalidomide.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 an uncommon malignancy with a poor prognosis. Systemic therapy options for patients with metastatic disease generally have limited effectiveness. In this case study, a 73-year-old male with metastatic angiosarcoma who previously declined chemotherapy and developed progressive disease after checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy elected to try thalidomide based on 6 case reports describing its effectiveness. Thalidomide resulted in stable disease for 9 months, but due to severe neuropathy as a side effect, lenalidomide was then substituted for thalidomide. The patient continued to have stable disease on lenalidomide for an additional 16 months and ongoing. This is the first case study to report on effective treatment of angiosarcoma with lenalidomide. Further investigation of lenalidomide in the management of angiosarcoma is warranted.
