Radiation-Induced Angiosarcoma Following Breast Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionRadiation-induced angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare but aggressive secondary malignancy that develops several years after breast surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy. Because of its poor prognosis and diagnostic challenges, early recognition and complete surgical excision are essential for optimal management. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 72-year-old woman who presented with multiple painful, dark purple nodules in her left breast 7 years after breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy for adenoid cystic carcinoma. A core needle biopsy confirmed angiosarcoma. A total mastectomy with wide skin excision, including all overlying breast skin, and split-thickness skin grafting from the left thigh was performed to ensure negative margins, which were pathologically confirmed. Surgical removal of the tumor completely relieved her breast pain. She remains recurrence-free 6 months after surgery.
conclusionsTreatment for radiation-induced angiosarcoma is primarily surgical, with mastectomy and negative margins being the standard approach. Early detection is crucial to achieve complete resection, emphasizing the importance of careful follow-up and close attention to skin changes in patients who have received breast surgery with radiation therapy.
