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

rationalePulmonary artery sarcomas (PAS) are easily misdiagnosed as thromboembolic disease of pulmonary arteries, because of rarity and presenting with nonspecific signs, symptoms, or imaging findings. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 26-year-old man was admitted to the department of invasive technology with fever and dyspnea. Blood tests showed inflammatory activity, a slight increase of D-dimer and Fibrin Degradation Product. A chest enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning revealed multiple filling defects occurred in the main trunk of both pulmonary arteries and branches of the left pulmonary artery DIAGNOSES:: It was initially diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), but was eventually diagnosed with pulmonary artery sarcoma that was confirmed by biopsy.

interventionsThe transcatheter thrombolysis therapy, inferior vena cava filter implantation, and operation were performed. OUTCOMES: The Organized mass was removed by the operation and was pathologically diagnosed as pulmonary artery sarcoma, the patient received postoperative chemotherapy according to the recommendation of oncology department. LESSONS: Coagulation markers have been reported to differentiate PAS from PE, but this case suggested that PAS can be associated with DVT and abnormal coagulation-fibrinolysis system.
