Mediastinal Epithelioid Angiosarcoma, New Insights into an Uncommon Diagnosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Hawai'i journal of health & social welfare, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Angiosarcoma is an uncommon malignant mesenchymal neoplasm, accounting for 1-2% of all sarcomas. More than half are cutaneous, with the remainder arising in the deep soft tissue, breast, bone or viscera, particularly the liver, spleen and heart. Mediastinal angiosarcomas are exceedingly uncommon. While epithelioid morphology is sometimes a minor component in conventional angiosarcoma, tumors with a predominance of epithelioid morphologic features are designated as epithelioid angiosarcoma (EAS). This is a report of a 58-year-old woman presenting with severe chest pain, accompanied by worsening dyspnea and dysphagia. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a large pericardial effusion and a bulky mediastinal mass. Biopsy revealed a malignant neoplasm with vascular differentiation consistent with high-grade EAS. By immunohistochemistry, epithelioid angiosarcomas express endothelial cell markers, such as CD31, CD34, ERG and FLI-1. A variable proportion express low molecular weight cytokeratin (CK), epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and CD30. The use of molecular techniques has proven useful in the diagnosis of this rare neoplasm. Targeted next generation sequencing showed aberrations in multiple genes including NRAS, KRAS, MYC and TP53.
