Cardiac angiosarcoma: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 the most invasive and malignant cardiac tumor and most commonly originates from the right atrium. Early diagnosis is essential, and echocardiography has an important role in diagnosis. This tumor grows aggressively, and metastases to other sites makes it difficult to control. Surgical treatment remains the best option for patients who do not respond to chemoradiotherapy. We herein report a case of a 17-year-old patient with cardiac angiosarcoma who presented with dyspnea, chest pain, dry cough, and fever. Although we considered the most probable diagnosis to be constrictive pericarditis, pathologic examination revealed a primary angiosarcoma originating from the pericardium. The patient underwent total pericardiectomy. However, despite receiving chemotherapy for 2 weeks postoperatively, she developed complications including leukopenia and eventually died of respiratory failure. Late diagnosis of angiosarcoma often occurs, resulting in progression to end-stage disease and a very poor prognosis. Therefore, a thorough understanding of this entity, knowledge of its pitfalls in management, and establishment of an accurate treatment guideline would help to develop a reliable and life-saving treatment approach for these patients.
