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

backgroundThymic large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is extremely rare. The detailed clinical features of thymic LNCECs remain unknown. CASE PRESENTATION: A 90-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, and an abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent computed tomography for follow-up, which showed an anterior mediastinal tumor, measuring 31 mm × 28 mm in diameter. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an iso-intensity mass on T1-weighted images and high intensity on T2-weighted images. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography showed marked uptake in the mass, which was diagnosed as invasive thymoma or thymic carcinoma. Video-assisted thoracic surgery through the left thoracic cavity was converted to median sternotomy due to severe adhesions between the left lung and the chest wall. Partial thymectomy and combined partial resection of left upper lobectomy and the first and the second costal cartilages were performed. The pathologic diagnosis was thymic LCNEC, Masaoka stage III. The patient developed pleural dissemination and left lung metastases in 5 months and died 12 months after surgery.

conclusionsThymic LCNEC has high malignant potential. More cases need to be studied.
