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 an extremely rare and aggressive tumor that originates from the endothelial lining of cardiac blood vessels. We report a case of a 48-year-old man with history of military burn pit exposure, who presented with shortness of breath, cough, and hemoptysis. He was treated as a case of pneumonia, later he developed a diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage, and the etiology of his symptoms was found to be cardiac angiosarcoma with lung involvement. This case highlights the important clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics of a rare cancer that commonly spreads to the lungs, urging healthcare providers to keep it in mind when diagnosing hemoptysis and pulmonary hemorrhage.
