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

backgroundAngiosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor derived from vascular endothelial cells in which a primary intracranial origin is extremely rare. Most previous reports of primary central nervous system (CNS) angiosarcoma have been solitary cases. OBSERVATIONS: The authors report a case of primary CNS angiosarcoma that caused the development of multiple disseminated cerebral hemorrhagic lesions within a short period of time. This rapid progression of symptoms resulted in the death of the patient. During surgery, several nodules suggestive of a tumor were removed from just below the surface of the brain, mixed into the hematoma. A pathological examination revealed atypical cells mimicking blood vessels in the subarachnoid space that were positive for specific vascular endothelial markers. LESSONS: In this case, multifocal angiosarcoma occurred on the brain surface and ventricles, suggesting cerebrospinal fluid dissemination. If multiple cerebral hemorrhages are found on the brain surface, multifocal angiosarcoma should also be considered.
