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 metastases typically present as well-circumscribed solid nodules, often with a basilar and peripheral distribution due to hematogenous spread. When an atypical pattern of metastasis occurs, a lack of recognition may result in understaging or a delay in diagnosis. The purpose of this article is to review the imaging findings of atypical pulmonary metastatic disease in children. Atypical pulmonary metastatic patterns that can be seen in children include cavitary lesions, calcified pulmonary nodules, nodules with peritumoral halos, tree-in-bud or strial pattern secondary to tumor in peripheral pulmonary arterial branches, lymphangitic carcinomatosis, and miliary disease. An awareness of the spectrum of imaging findings of atypical pulmonary metastases along with an understanding of histopathological underpinnings will allow the radiologist to make an accurate diagnosis.
