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 78-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a two-week history of productive cough. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules with cavities. Although the cytology of her sputum revealed adenocarcinoma, she refused any treatment. Following supportive care, 30 months later, she presented to our hospital with dyspnea and fever. Chest CT showed progression of multiple pulmonary nodules and cavities. Despite treatment with antibiotics and palliative care, she died on the 10th day of hospitalization. Pathological autopsy confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA). The typical CT findings of IMA include multiple consolidations or ground-glass opacities mimicking pneumonia; rarely, cavitary lesions are also observed. Clinicians should consider IMA as a differential diagnosis for lung cavities.
