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 paraganglioma is an extra-adrenal tumor of the paraganglia often found in association with sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. A primary pulmonary paraganglioma generally presents as multiple small tumors or a solitary mass; however, endobronchial involvement is extremely rare. A 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of a chronic cough, intermittent dyspnea, and chest pain. Chest computed tomography revealed a rounded, high-density lesion in the left lower lung lobe. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy demonstrated an endobronchial mass characterized by smooth, hypervascularized mucosa. Transbronchial biopsy of the mass and immunohistochemistry results suggested a paraganglioma. The patient fully recovered after lobectomy and lymphadenectomy. Pulmonary paragangliomas are rarely reported. Complete surgical resection is considered the treatment of choice for pulmonary paragangliomas, and the long-term prognosis is generally good. However, life-long follow-up is mandatory because of the possibility of recurrence and metastasis. This case report adds valuable knowledge to the literature on pulmonary paragangliomas.
