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 62-year-old woman was found to have multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules showing different (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptakes on positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Only the largest nodule in the left lower lobe showed an increased (18)F-FDG uptake on PET/CT. Three nodules were surgically resected from different lobes of the left lung. Two lobes were benign and showed amyloid deposition. The largest nodule in the left lower lobe showed adenocarcinoma and a heavy amyloid deposition. Pulmonary amyloidosis should be added to the differential diagnosis for cases with multiple pulmonary nodules that show different (18)F-FDG uptakes on PET/CT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case of a lung nodule consisting of adenocarcinoma and amyloid deposition.
