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

Malignant mesotheliomas are rare and aggressive tumours arising from mesothelial cells of the pleura and peritoneum. Infrequent sites of origin are the pericardium and tunica vaginalis testis. More than 80% of mesotheliomas are localized in the pleura. Men are more frequently affected than women. The median age is >60 years. Asbestos exposure is the best known aetilogical risk factor and is reported in 54-90% of patients. In Germany, malignant mesotheliomas caused by occupational asbestos exposure are compensated as occupational disease since 1977. Several neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions like metastasis, sarcomas, lymphomas or pleuritis with reactive mesothelial proliferation have to be distinguished from malignant mesotheliomas. Especially, the pathohistological differentiation between atypical reactive mesothelial proliferation from malignant mesothelioma is a diagnostic challenge.
