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

Angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive vascular malignancy characterized by rapid proliferation, early metastasis, and limited therapeutic options, resulting in poor prognosis. The etiopathogenesis of AS remains elusive and diagnosis is challenging due to its similarity to other vascular lesions. This systematic review aims to synthesize existing literature on biomarkers in human AS tissue, encompassing genomic alterations, metabolic pathway changes, specific protein, and their implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. Eighty-seven studies were identified as meeting predefined eligibility criteria following a systematic search of Pubmed and Embase between 1996 and 2024. The review highlights recurrent mutations (e.g., TP53, POT1, MYC, PTPRB, KDR), altered metabolic pathways (VEGF, ANGPT-TIE, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, MAPK/ERK), and diverse protein expression patterns (e.g., ERG, CD31, CD34, vWF). These biomarkers underscore the complex molecular landscape of AS and offer potential targets for improved diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies. This review provides a foundation for further research and the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this challenging malignancy.
