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

The aim of the present study was to report a rare case of dyspnea caused by rapid growth of intratracheal lymphoma in the 2 weeks following thyroid surgery. A 53-year-old male patient underwent a right thyroidectomy due to tracheal compression by a mass of the right thyroid lobe. However, 2 weeks after the surgery, the patient developed dyspnea, which was managed by tracheotomy. An urgent computed tomography scan revealed that the soft tissue of the upper trachea was significantly thickened compared with prior to surgery, resulting in narrowing of the airway. Postoperative pathology revealed right thyroid lymphoma, and the final diagnosis was intratracheal lymphoma. The intratracheal mass regressed after chemotherapy combined with rituximab. We herein review the diagnostic and treatment process of this case of dyspnea, and analyze the outcome, in order to provide a reference for the timely diagnosis and treatment of patients developing dyspnea following thyroid surgery.
