Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma Presenting as Necrotizing Pneumonia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a very rare vascular neoplasm that is often asymptomatic. A 40-year-old woman presented to the emergency department for evaluation of a nonproductive cough, chest pain, and dyspnea. A chest computed tomography angiography (CTA) demonstrated necrotizing pneumonia, a loculated left-sided pleural effusion, and an acute pulmonary embolus. She was started on broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics and heparin infusions, and a chest tube was placed. After minimal improvement in her pleural effusion following instillation of fibrinolytics, she underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with decortication, and a pleural biopsy was performed. Her presenting symptoms resolved shortly thereafter. Following discharge, surgical pathology resulted in a diagnosis of EHE. She was not a candidate for surgical resection and remained under surveillance. A year later, she was found to have metastatic disease, and radiotherapy was initiated. Our case, which presented as necrotizing pneumonia associated with pulmonary EHE, highlights the challenges in diagnosing this disease given its extreme rarity and discusses its management.
