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 aortic angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy arising from endothelial cells of blood vessels and has a poor prognosis. We report 21 relevant cases from the literature, summarizing the number of reported cases without analyzing treatment outcomes or prognostic data. Additionally, we report our own case of a 75-year-old male who presented with fever, abdominal pain, and leg discomfort 10 years after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Initial imaging suggested an infected EVAR, leading to explantation and reconstruction. Despite antibiotic treatment, negative cultures and surgical intervention, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate. A biopsy of cervical lymph nodes revealed a high-grade angiosarcoma. These cases highlight the diagnostic challenges of primary aortic angiosarcoma, especially in patients with prior EVAR, and emphasize the importance of considering rare malignancies in cases when a patient deteriorates despite therapy or does not show the expected treatment response.
