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

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of nab-paclitaxel based chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). Methods: Since March 2022, chemotherapy has been recommended for patients with advanced EHE characterized by large tumors (liver tumors > 10 cm or tumors in other organs > 3 cm), rapid tumor progression, severe symptoms, serosal effusion, and treatment failure. Two chemotherapy regimens were administered: nab-paclitaxel plus bevacizumab and nab-paclitaxel plus sirolimus. Clinical data and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results: From March 2022 to August 2024, 21 patients with histologically confirmed EHE who received nab-paclitaxel based chemotherapy were included. At baseline, 18 patients (85.7%) presented with tumor-related symptoms, and serosal effusion was detected in 12 patients (57.1%). Among patients with hepatic EHE, six (28.6%) had tumors > 10 cm, while six (28.6%) with EHE at other sites had tumors > 3 cm. Partial response and stable disease were achieved in 5 (23.8%) and 12 (57.1%) patients, respectively, resulting in a disease control rate of 80.9%. Symptom relief was observed in 15 of 18 patients (83.3%), and decreased serosal effusion was noted in 6 of 12 patients (50.0%). The 1- and 2-year progression-free survival rates were 50.7% and 13.5%, respectively, while the 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 70.6% and 51.5%, respectively. Conclusion: Nab-paclitaxel based chemotherapy may offer an effective treatment option for patients with advanced EHE exhibiting adverse prognostic factors. However, further clinical trials are required to confirm its efficacy.
