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

introductionBronchogenic cysts may rupture or become infected, and malignant degeneration may occur. Although various types of malignant degeneration have been described, only a few reports of mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from a bronchogenic cyst have been published. We report such a case. CASE: A 77-year-old female was referred to our institution for evaluation of left chest pain. A computed tomography scan showed an enhancing 65 × 70 mm mass of the left diaphragm. Based on the intraoperative findings of an intradiaphragmatic tumor involving the lower lobe of the left lung, the resection of the tumor with the wedge resection of left lower lobe and partial resection of the left diaphragm was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed a mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from a bronchogenic cyst of the diaphragm with the presence of fibrous adhesion to the lower lobe.

conclusionWe believe that complete resection of any bronchogenic cyst is justified.
