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

Angiomyolipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour, which rarely involve inferior vena cava (IVC) and pulmonary arteries. Here we reported a 41-year-old man, who presented symptoms of chronic pulmonary embolism. After multiple images evaluation, a large tumour with the same properties as the pulmonary embolism was found in the right kidney. One-staged surgery to remove both pulmonary embolism and right kidney was performed. Histological study showed the tumour and embolism as angiomyolipoma. The present study reported a rare case with renal angiomyolipoma and both IVC and pulmonary arteries involvements, which provided a good example for differential diagnosis in the emergency department and treating a rare type of chronic pulmonary embolism after renal angiomyolipoma.
