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

Cowden syndrome is a phosphatase and tensin homologue on chromosome ten (PTEN) hamartoma tumour syndrome. The loss of function of the PTEN protein is associated with the risk of development and progression of several types of tumours, such as pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours and carcinoids. We present a 65-year old male non-smoker, who was diagnosed with Cowden syndrome and had a pulmonary tumour. He underwent wedge resection via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and was histopathologically diagnosed with an atypical carcinoid. To our knowledge, this is the first report on a pulmonary atypical carcinoid in a patient with Cowden syndrome. The present findings suggest a potential link between phosphoinositide-3 kinase/protein kinase B signalling in Cowden syndrome and the development of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours, such as carcinoids.
