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

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is very rare. In this report, we describe an interesting case of a 25-year-old male with a giant primary angiosarcoma invading the right heart. He was urgently admitted to the hospital for respiratory distress. Once the diagnosis was suspected by chest x-ray, echocardiography, and CT scan, and given the patient's hemodynamic and respiratory instability, an emergency open-heart surgery was necessary to prevent complications. Through a right atriotomy and a pulmonary infundibulotomy, the tumor was resected. Invaded by the tumoral process, the tricuspid valve was replaced with a biological prosthesis. The postoperative course was marked by severe right ventricular dysfunction with multiorgan failure. Histopathologic examination of the surgical specimen confirmed a primary cardiac angiosarcoma.
