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

Epithelioid emangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare tumor originating from vascular endothelial cells, which belongs to malignant vascular tumors with low to moderate differentiation and potential metastatic ability and its incidence rate is less than one in a million. We herein report a rare case of EHE of pulmonary origin and a review of the literature concerning the clinical and pathological features of this disease. The patient underwent left upper lobectomy to completely extirpate the lesion by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Our findings suggest the difficulty of making a diagnosis before surgery and that more cases need to be reported in order to facilitate the preoperative diagnosis of such a rare tumor.
