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

Primary pulmonary angiosarcoma (PPA) is a rare malignant vascular tumor, of which early diagnosis is challenging due to lack of specific clinical manifestations and a low level of suspicion. Here, we report a case of PPA presented with advanced brain metastasis. A 21-year-old patient with 1 week history of headache and mild cough was hospitalized for a head injury. Head MRI showed multiple intracranial lesions with brain edema. Chest CT displayed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates with mediastinal lymph node enlargement. After 2 months of anti-tuberculosis treatment, the patient was readmitted for persistent headache and cough with occasional hemosputum along with worsening pulmonary and intracranial lesions. Despite seizure prophylaxis and control of intracranial pressure and brain edema, his symptoms progressively aggravated, accompanied by cough with bloody sputum, frequent epileptic seizures, and hypotension. He eventually developed coma and died within 3 months of onset of symptoms. An autopsy confirmed PPA with brain metastasis.
