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

backgroundPrimary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare primary cardiac malignancy. Biopsy of such vascular-rich tumours may result in serious complications. CASE SUMMARY: This is a case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with syncope. According to clinical history, she initially had massive pericardial effusion, with an uncertain aetiology. Multimodality imaging at our hospital revealed a cauliflower-like tumour in the right atrium. Coronary angiography results confirmed multiple feeding vessels from the right coronary artery to the tumour. Thoracoscopic biopsy resulted in a massive bleeding requiring haemostasis via thoracotomy. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed an angiosarcoma with atypical cells and spindle cells in a myxomatous background. Treatment with systemic targeted therapy and chemotherapy was initiated, and the patient is still under active treatment. DISCUSSION: Cardiac angiosarcomas most commonly arise from the right atrium and may be hard to detect with transthoracic echocardiography. Biopsy of primary cardiac angiosarcomas requires careful planning because they are highly vascularized. Currently, no guidelines regarding the treatment of such tumours exist, and a multidisciplinary treatment is needed.
