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

Angiosarcoma is a rare type of soft-tissue sarcoma arising from endothelial cells. It is considered 'high-grade' by definition, reflecting its aggressive behavior. We sought to investigate the role of surgery in cardiac angiosarcoma, identify late mortality predictors, and identify interactions with other modalities in its treatment using a national dataset. The 2004-2017 National Cancer Database was reviewed for patients with primary cardiac angiosarcoma. Late mortality predictors were evaluated with Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis. Surgery in primary cardiac angiosarcoma was performed in 130 patients (median age 50.5 years; female sex 36.9%). The median follow up was 72.02 months, with a median overall survival (OS) of 14.32 months. In patients treated with surgery in combination with other modalities compared with those treated with surgery alone, median OSs were 17.28 and 2.88 months, respectively (log-rank = 0.018). Older patients (age > 57 years) experienced lower OS compared to those with an age < 57 (log-rank = 0.012). This may be partially explained by the difference in treatment strategies among age groups: those with increasing age, less surgery (
