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

We report a 52-year-old man with primary cardiac angiosarcoma. He was referred to our hospital with a 3-month history of facial swelling and peripheral edema. Echocardiography and chest computed tomography revealed massive pericardial effusion and a right atrial tumor with a broad base at atrial septum which was extended into superior vena cava. We performed complete resection of the tumor and reconstruction of left atrium, atrial septum, right atrium, and superior vena cava with autologous pericardium and bovine pericardium. Histological examination exhibited angiosarcoma and a sign of radical excision. The patient, who made an uneventful recovery, was given postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy for liver metastasis 4 months postoperatively. The patient remains well without any signs of other metastasis for 2 years. We consider that an aggressive approach to resection with extensive reconstruction and multidisciplinary treatment can improve survival.
