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

Cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare aggressive malignancy with rapid progress and poor prognosis. Here we report 1 patient with cardiac angiosarcoma with lung metastasis, which presented as multiple halo signs and ground glass opacities. The patient underwent computed tomography (CT) guided lung biopsy and postoperative tissue histology confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) identified the main tumor in the right atrium. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) excluded intraabdominal lesions. The patient was given chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel, cardiac radiation therapy and remained follow-up. Considering the rapid disease progression and poor prognosis, the present case report is intended to provide diagnostic insight into cardiac angiosarcoma with lung metastasis, especially with lung CT scans of multiple halo signs and ground glass opacities.
