Intimal angiosarcoma of the descending aorta presenting as atheroembolism: case report and description of intravascular biopsy.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 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
Aortic sarcoma is a rare entity. In most cases, the diagnosis is established late, owing to the course of the disease, with a median survival time of only a few months. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient with ischemic lesions in the lower limb. The lesions after several investigations were diagnosed by imaging studies (eg, magnetic resonance angiography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography [CT], CT angiography, or positron emission tomography-CT with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose) as possible primary angiosarcoma of the aorta. It was decided to perform endovascular aortic repair and endovascular biopsy of the lesion. This was chosen as a "palliative" treatment to avoid embolic events, given the presence of metastases, instead of open surgery, which would otherwise have been the treatment of choice. Subsequently, histologic examination confirmed aortic intimal angiosarcoma, and adjuvant chemotherapy was initiated. In the present report, we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and classification of primary aortic sarcomas. We also critically review the diagnostic and therapeutic management of these patients in previous series of studies to improve their treatment in subsequent cases.
