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

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an extremely rare vascular sarcoma that can initially present with a myriad of symptoms anywhere in the body. Imaging findings are often nonspecific, and the pathology tends to have overlap with other malignancies. As a result, it can be quite difficult to suspect and diagnose EHE. We present a case of pulmonary EHE in a 41-year-old female with left pleural thickening and subclavian tumor thrombus who was initially misdiagnosed and treated as mesothelioma. This instance demonstrates the importance of maintaining a broad differential and the utilization of repeat biopsies and next-generation sequencing for questionable diagnoses of atypical malignancies.
