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

A 32-year-old male patient was initially diagnosed with fibrosing mediastinitis. The patient subsequently developed severe dyspnea and was further diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis due to the extent of fibrosing mediastinitis around the heart. Therefore, the patient underwent surgical resection of the fibrotic tissue in the anterior mediastinum including the pericardium and the pleura. Postoperative histological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed angiosarcoma. Seven years after the diagnosis, he is still alive. Herein, we report a case of atypical primary angiosarcoma of the anterior mediastinum causing constrictive pericarditis and restrictive pulmonary dysfunction.
