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

A 42-year-old man diagnosed with gastric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma 2 years earlier, for which he had undergone treatment, presented with expectorative cough, exertional shortness of breath and left-sided chest pain of 3 months duration. Respiratory system examination was suggestive of left-sided pneumonia with pleural effusion. Routine haemogram showed leukocytosis with high erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Chest radiograph showed blunting of left-sided cardiophrenic angle. Sputum culture grew Chryseobacterium indologenes. Diagnostic thoracocentesis was suggestive of lymphomatous metastasis. Pleural fluid culture was sterile. Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) of the thorax showed left lower lobe consolidation with bilateral pleural effusion. The patient was treated with antibiotics, following which his cough improved and total leukocyte count normalised. Sputum culture repeated after the antibiotic course showed no growth of C. indologenes. However, the pleural effusion soon aggravated along with features suggestive of multiple metastasis. The patient finally succumbed to his underlying advanced malignancy.
