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, and gastrointestinal involvement is uncommon. We report disseminated angiosarcoma with multifocal small-bowel involvement presenting as suspected small-bowel bleeding, in which small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) and double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) were diagnostically useful. A man in his 60s presented with recurrent melena and transfusion-dependent anemia. SBCE showed active jejunal bleeding with multiple ulcerative lesions, and antegrade DBE revealed hemorrhagic tumors with luminal narrowing. Retrograde DBE demonstrated additional ileal and colonic lesions. Computed tomography showed small-bowel stenosis, mesenteric dissemination, bone metastases, and soft-tissue infiltration around an abdominal aortic stent graft. The patient died 7 weeks after transfer. Autopsy confirmed disseminated angiosarcoma involving the small intestine and mesentery, with the greatest tumor burden around the aortic graft, suggesting a possible periaortic origin. This case highlights the complementary roles of SBCE and DBE and provides rare clinicopathological correlation with autopsy findings.
