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

backgroundPulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is rare benign lung tumor which usually develops in middle-aged women without typical clinical and imaging findings. PSP consists of two basic cell types (surface cubic epithelial cells and round mesenchymal cells) and four histological types (hemorrhagic, sclerotic, solid and papillary). It grows slowly, but it can metastasize to distant organs. The pathology before surgery is easily misdiagnosed. This study aims to improve clinicians' understanding of PSP by discussing the clinical characteristics of the disease.

methodsThis represents a retrospective study of thirty-five patients diagnosed with pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma by pathological examination from January 2011 to December 2019.

resultsA total of 35 patients in this study, 12 cases were male and 23 cases were female, the average age is 51 years old. 7 cases were discovered accidentally by physical examination or routine chest computed tomography (CT), and 28 cases were found due to symptoms such as cough, sputum, hemoptysis and chest pain. The imaging changes is mainly featured with isolated or clear circular or round-like single nodule and lump in the lungs. In this group, 12 cases underwent percutaneous lung biopsy, only 7 cases were diagnosed with PSP. A total of 28 patients underwent surgery, 24 cases underwent rapid frozen pathological biopsy, only 5 cases diagnosed with PSP. Postoperative pathological examination results shows that 1 case was diagnosed with keratotic squamous cell carcinoma with partial PSP, and the rest were diagnosed with PSP. The surgical and non-surgical patients were followed up for 1 to 8 years after discharge, and the overall recovery was good. The patients were no recurrence and metastasis on chest CT review.

conclusionsPSP is a clinically rare benign lung tumor, which is more common in middle-aged women. The clinical manifestations and imaging features are lack of significance. Percutaneous lung puncture pathological examination and intraoperative rapid frozen pathological sections often leads to misdiagnosis. Final diagnosis relies on postoperative pathological work-up for most cases.
