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

Coccidioides immitis is endemic in the southwestern United States. Coccidioidomycosis is rare in Japan, but the number of coccidioidomycosis cases from overseas is expected to increase markedly in the near future. A 33-year-old Japanese man with coccidioidomycosis who had lived in Arizona presented to our hospital. We performed wedge resection of the lung by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and were able to completely remove the lesion. VATS wedge resection of the lung is effective in treating localized coccidioidomycosis. Before the operation, we could not confirm the existence of satellite lesions, but microscopically the main lesion was accompanied by several daughter lesions. It is very important that the surgical margin be sufficient to achieve complete resection.
