A case of spontaneously ruptured hepatic angiosarcoma resected after transcatheter arterial embolization.

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
Hepatic angiosarcoma is a very rare disease, but it has a poor prognosis. Here, we report the case of a 77-year-old man who was referred to our hospital for suspicion of hepatocellular carcinoma and cancerous peritonitis. Based on the imaging findings, a diagnosis of spontaneously ruptured hepatic hemangioma was made. Six days later, the patient was transported to the hospital in a state of shock and an emergency transarterial embolization was performed. He underwent lateral hepatic segmentectomy 7 days later. Histopathologically, he was diagnosed with hepatic angiosarcoma. Fever was observed 21 days after surgery, and computed tomography was performed. Multiple liver masses, which ware increasing rapidly, were found, and hepatic angiosarcoma recurrence was confirmed. He requested home medical care and died at home 36 days after surgery. When a tumor diagnosed as a hepatic hemangioma by imaging has ruptured, the possibility of hepatic angiosarcoma should be considered.
