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

Background: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare sarcoma of the blood vessels. We report a patient with vascular EHE with delayed pulmonary metastasis, of which there are no previously known case reports. Case Description: A 40-year-old female presents with a painful right groin mass and swelling in the lower extremity. A 3.8 cm soft tissue mass was identified in the femoral sheath with the abutment of the femoral artery on a computerized tomography (CT) scan. Surgical resection of the femoral vein was performed, and the final pathology confirmed a diagnosis of EHE. A second Conclusions: Our case shows that indolent metastasis can occur in EHE, despite a prolonged disease-free interval. This case highlights the need for long-term surveillance with serial imaging of not only the primary site but pulmonary imaging beyond 5 years may be beneficial.
