Cardiac Angiosarcoma in the Right Atrium Treated by Surgical Resection.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We present the case of a 49-year-old female of Caucasian European descent with chest tightness, fatigue, and palpitations, ultimately diagnosed with primary intracardiac angiosarcoma. Initial echocardiography revealed a significant mass within the right atrium, infiltrating the free wall. Surgical intervention included tumor excision and partial resection of the superior vena cava. Histopathological examination confirmed a high-grade angiosarcoma. Postoperative imaging identified a recurrent mass in the right atrium, suggestive of thrombus, alongside Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Considering the elevated surgical risks and the presence of cardiomyopathy, management included anticoagulation therapy with Warfarin and adjuvant chemotherapy with Paclitaxel. Follow-up cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a recurrent angiosarcoma with superimposed thrombus. This case presents the complex diagnostic and therapeutic landscape of angiosarcoma, highlighting the critical importance of early surgical intervention, advanced imaging techniques, and vigilant postoperative monitoring.
