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

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma (PAIS) is an extremely rare malignant tumour. It is often misdiagnosed as chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. We describe a complex case in a 70-year-old man with PAIS extending into his right ventricle undergoing salvage cytoreductive surgical resection utilizing bivalirudin for cardiopulmonary bypass anticoagulation due to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome. The prognosis for PAIS is extremely poor, with a median survival of 1.5 months without surgical resection. Cytoreductive surgical debulking can improve the median survival time to 17 months. The main aim of palliative surgical resection is to improve ventilation-perfusion mismatch and prevent haemodynamic collapse.
