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

Sarcoidosis is a multiorgan disease which presents in up to 95% of cases with lung involvement, a proportion of which develops conglomerate fibrotic masses (CFMs). CFMs typically progressively increase in size overtime. The development of a lung malignancy within a CFM is rare and difficult to diagnose within the underlying lung fibrosis. Here, we describe the obstructing airway bronchus sign in CFMs as an important part of assessing CFMs overtime on computed tomography, which when it occurs should raise suspicion of an occult underlying carcinoma.
