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

Objective: To describe CT and clinical findings of pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma (PAIS) compared with those of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), to investigate MRI and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT findings of PAIS, and to evaluate the effect of delayed diagnosis of PAIS on survival outcomes. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six patients with PAIS were retrospectively identified and matched for sex, with patients with PTE at a ratio of 1:2. CT and clinical findings of the two groups were compared using Student's Results: The most common tumor pattern in PAIS was tumoral impaction. Heterogeneous attenuation, wall eclipse signs, intratumoral vessels, acute interphase angles, single location, presence of lung ischemia, and central location were significantly more common in PAIS than in PTE (all Conclusion: The characteristic CT and clinical findings of PAIS may help achieve early diagnosis of PAIS and make better survival outcomes of patients. MRI and PET-CT can be used as second-line imaging modalities and could help distinguish PAIS from PTE and to plan clinical management.
