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 cystadenoma is a very rare benign tumor of the lung with slow growth rate and most often, asymptomatic. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 58-year-old patient admitted in the hospital for coughing with hemoptoic sputum. Standard thoracic radiography revealed a 4/5 cm macronodular opacity in the right inferior lobe, paracardiac. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) with contrast discovered a 3.8/4.7 cm homogenous mass in the right inferior lobe. After intraoperative assessment of the lesion a lower right lobectomy with mediastinal and local lymphadenectomy was performed.

conclusionPulmonary mucinous cystadenoma is one of the primary pulmonary mucinous cystic neoplasia (PMCT) alongside PMCT of low malignancy and pulmonary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (PMCAC). Because of this and because of the clinical and imagistic similarities between these main entities, establishing a preoperative diagnosis becomes very difficult. Therefore, histopathological and immunohistochemistry studies are mandatory in order to establish the correct diagnosis.
