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 herein report the case of a 62-year-old man who underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for pleural epithelial hemangioendothelioma (EHE) diagnosed by a pleural biopsy. Pre-operative computed tomography revealed diffuse pleural thickening and pleural effusion in the right thoracic cavity, although metastasis to neither the lymph nodes nor distant organs was detected. We decided to perform EPP based on surgical findings that the tumor had invaded the lung parenchyma. A pathological examination revealed tumor invasion of the lung parenchyma, blood vessel, pericardium, diaphragm and bronchial wall. Despite aggressive treatment, tumor recurrence was detected about 1 month after surgery. Although we controlled the tumor progression using pazopanib, the patient ultimately died 3.5 months after the operation. Pleural EHE is a very rare disease that has a poor prognosis due to its high malignant potential. It is important to formulate strategies matched to individual cases based on disease progression and invasiveness of treatment.
