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

We report a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with parasternal lymph node metastasis. The patient was a 34-year-old man who presented with a history of several years of abdominal pain and ascites of unknown origin. Exploratory laparoscopic biopsies yielded histological findings of malignancy, but a final diagnosis was not able to be made. A chest computed tomographic scan done the following year showed a parasternal nodule, and thoracoscopically obtained biopsied material was positive for calretinin. These findings led to a pathological diagnosis of metastasis to the parasternal lymph node from peritoneal mesothelioma.
