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

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma is an uncommon slow-growing benign tumor that usually occurs in middle-aged women and generally presents as a solitary well-defined nodule. An 18-year-old woman was incidentally detected to have multiple lung nodules on chest radiography that slowly increased in size over a period of 7 years. Computed tomography images showed multiple well-defined nodules surrounded by numerous smaller nodules with a maximum diameter of 3 cm in the left lung. A percutaneous core needle biopsy was performed, but malignancy could not be excluded because of the high proportion of papillary structures. A video-assisted partial wedge resection was performed and the pathologic diagnosis was pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma. Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma presenting as multiple lung nodules is a rare but very important condition to include in the differential diagnosis of multiple lung nodules. There is a possibility of misdiagnosis of another type of tumor or malignancy on preoperative biopsy. We should be aware not only of the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma but also of the potential pitfalls in its diagnosis and management.
