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

We here report the case of a 40-year-old man with primary pulmonary chordomas. Although an abnormality had been noted on a chest radiograph at age 26 years, the patient had not undergone further examination at that time because he was asymptomatic. Standard chest radiographs and computed tomography showed slow-growing, multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules. Two tumors were resected thoracoscopically to obtain a diagnosis. Pathologic examination resulted in a diagnosis of chordomas. Subsequent systemic examination revealed no additional lesions, not even in the axial skeleton. The patient is alive without any new lesions 38 months after surgery. These clinical and pathological findings suggest that our patient has multiple primary chordomas of the lung, which is an extremely rare condition.
