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

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a relatively rare tumor that frequently metastasizes by the time of diagnosis, with a poor prognosis. Currently, there is no uniform treatment, with surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy being the mainstays of treatment. We report the case of a man in his early 30s who presented to the emergency department with hemoptysis and was found to have massive pericardial effusion and right atrial occupancy upon investigation. Subsequent examination revealed hypermetabolic foci in the lungs and femur, and a final biopsy confirmed the presence of a primary cardiac angiosarcoma. The patient died 3 days after diagnosis due to cardiopulmonary failure, with a survival period of 4 months from symptom onset to death. This report describes one of the few cases of cardiac tumor with respiratory symptoms.
