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

A 74-year-old man presented with recurrent cerebellar infarction and progressive anemia. The workup revealed a small jejunal tumor and a mobile mass in the left atrium. Urgent minimally invasive cardiac surgery was performed, and histopathology confirmed epithelioid angiosarcoma. Subsequent small bowel resection revealed a similar tumor. Despite chemotherapy and radiotherapy, bone metastases progressed, and the patient succumbed to the disease eight months postoperatively. The cardiac tumor was smaller than typically reported, suggesting early detection prompted by embolic events. Nevertheless, the clinical course was aggressive, highlighting the high malignancy of epithelioid angiosarcoma and the limited effectiveness of current therapies. Accumulation of further clinical experience is essential to improve outcomes in this rare cardiac tumor.
