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

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an ultra-rare vascular neoplasm with variable biologic behavior. Mediastinal EHE is particularly uncommon and may mimic more prevalent prevascular mediastinal tumors. We report a 52-year-old man with a 10.5 × 8.9 × 9.6 cm mixed-density left upper anterior mediastinal mass containing macroscopic fat, soft-tissue components, and coarse calcification. FDG PET/CT demonstrated mild-to-moderate uptake (SUVmax 4.8) without nodal or distant metastatic disease, and the imaging appearance favored mature teratoma. Resection demonstrated a 9.5 cm conventional EHE intimately associated with a myelolipomatous component containing extensive extramedullary hematopoiesis and metaplastic ossification. The neoplastic cells expressed endothelial markers, and RNA fusion analysis detected WWTR1::CAMTA1. Surgical margins were negative, early postoperative and abdominopelvic imaging showed no residual or metastatic disease, and multidisciplinary review recommended surveillance without adjuvant therapy. Although similar EHE-myelolipoma/extramedullary hematopoiesis associations have been reported, this case emphasizes the multimodality imaging mimic of mature teratoma and provides direct radiologic-pathologic correlation of the fat-containing, solid, and ossified components.
