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

Micronodular thymoma with lymphoid stroma (MNT) is a rare subtype of organoid thymic epithelial tumor that occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Histologically, MNT is characterized by multiple epithelial nodules that are scattered or fused and abundant lymphocyte stroma with prominent germinal centers. It has a benign course and a good prognosis, and its diagnosis mainly depends on histopathologic and immunohistochemical markers. This article reports two cases of MNT to explore its clinicopathologic features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis to improve understanding of this subtype. In addition, we review previously reported cases of MNT.
