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

Introduction: Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare and highly aggressive vascular malignancy that commonly arises on the scalp and face of elderly individuals. It frequently metastasizes to visceral organs, whereas ocular involvement is exceedingly uncommon. Case Presentation: We report a case of clinically suspected eyelid conjunctival metastasis from cutaneous angiosarcoma in a man in his 60s. The primary tumor involved the left scalp and cheek and was treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with weekly paclitaxel for 7 months. Although an initial response was observed, the disease progressed with distant metastases to the lungs, liver, and brain. During the terminal stage, a rapidly enlarging hemorrhagic lesion developed on the conjunctiva of the right eyelid, outside the previously irradiated field. Because of the patient's poor general condition, histopathological confirmation was not feasible. Based on the clinical course and characteristic appearance, the lesion was clinically diagnosed as conjunctival metastasis. Short-course palliative radiotherapy achieved effective hemostasis and symptomatic relief. Conclusion: This case highlights an unusual metastatic presentation of cutaneous angiosarcoma and supports the role of palliative radiotherapy in managing symptomatic ocular lesions.
