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

Angiosarcomas are a rare subtype of sarcomas originating from vascular endothelial cells. Though frequently found in the head and neck area, there are minimal reports of radiation-induced angiosarcomas in this area. They have a poor prognosis due to a high rate of lymph node metastasis and, hence, require to be addressed promptly in order to improve survival. We present a rare case of radiation-induced angiosarcoma in a patient previously irradiated for squamous cell carcinoma of the neck. Due to variable and complex patient presentations of the disease, this case will help raise awareness of an uncommon complication of a common treatment offered to patients.
