Radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the vagina and vulva: Case report and review of literature.
Article in Gynecologic oncology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Angiosarcomas are uncommon malignant mesenchymal neoplasms of endothelial origin. They may be primary or secondary to radiation exposure, chronic lymphedema or to other associated risk factors. They can occur anywhere in the body, with the most common location being the skin of the head and neck. Radiation-induced angiosarcomas of the gynecologic tract are very rare with only few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a 54-year-old lady who developed angiosarcoma of the vagina and vulva 9 years following radiotherapy for cervical cancer. She was treated with chemoradiotherapy and died nine months following the diagnosis of angiosarcoma. We also performed a literature review of the radiation-induced angiosarcomas arising in the vagina and vulva. Angiosarcomas should always be considered in the differential diagnosis when dealing with a tumor located in a previously irradiated area, as they may clinically mimic recurrence of the original tumor the patient had.
