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
Background: Cutaneous angiosarcoma is an aggressive tumor commonly found in the head and neck region. There is no consensus regarding the definitive treatment for angiosarcoma. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review that evaluated 64 patients from 1983 to 2019. Demographic and clinical variables were examined for impact on recurrence using the time to recurrence and the overall survival in Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: Average age at diagnosis was 71 (32-95) years, with a 2.8 male: female ratio. Surgery was utilized in 62% of patients, with mean defect size of 11.4 ± 8.1 cm. Recurrence was found in 70% of patients, and mean time to recurrence was 15.3 ± 12.3 months. Decreased recurrence was associated with use of intraoperative frozen section analysis ( Conclusions: Negative margins are associated with decreased recurrence, and intraoperative frozen section analysis may be considered to obtain preliminary surgical margins.Level of Evidence: 4.
