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 hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare malignant vascular tumor that develops from vascular endothelial or pre-endothelial cells. More than 60% patients have single-organ involvement, and involvement of multiple organs including the liver, lungs, and bones is extremely rare. The typical radiographic features of EHE include multiple small nodules in both lungs, which are usually located near small- and medium-sized blood vessels and the bronchi, and solitary, multiple, or diffuse lesions located at the hepatic periphery, spreading within the branches of the portal and hepatic veins. Radiologic calcification has been rarely reported in the literature. Here, we firstly described a case of a 53-year-old woman with EHE who presented with lungs, liver, bone, and right hilar lymph node involvement, manifesting as massive calcification on computed tomography. This case reminds physicians that EHE may present with unusual imaging manifestations, like massive calcification, and should be considered during the diagnostic process.
