Metastatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of the Bone: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an extremely rare vascular tumor, which can pose a diagnostic dilemma. It affects women more than men and is mainly found in the liver, lung, and bone. To date, there are no known predisposing factors. Limited data are available on the management of EHE at metastatic stages. The only optimal treatments to prevent metastatic dissemination are surgical resection and amputation in addition to radiotherapy at early stages. The oncologist in this rare entity plays an important role in the guided and standardized management of this disease, especially for advanced stages. In this article, we report the case of a 74-year-old patient admitted with swelling on the outer aspect of the right calf associated with pain and total functional impairment of the limb. The diagnosis favored a high-risk vascular tumor resembling EHE, confirmed by bone (tibia) and soft tissue biopsy. The patient underwent staging investigations, revealing diffuse metastases to the liver, bones, and lungs. The objective of this article is to advocate for oncological intervention in this entity, particularly in the advanced stages of the disease. Despite its rarity, the advancement of clinical trials and therapeutic recommendations remains crucial for optimal treatment.
