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

Intravenous lipoma of the inferior vena cava is an incidental finding on contrast-enhanced computed tomography in 0.5% of individuals. We report a case of multiple intravenous lipomas discovered during diagnosis of cholangitis in a 39-year-old woman. Imaging revealed three fatty masses that appeared connected by cordlike structures: one in the left renal vein with wide mural attachment and two in the inferior vena cava, the higher of which was mobile. We hypothesize that these originated as a single lipoma that subsequently divided into three distinct masses. Because mobile masses may cause pulmonary thromboembolism, surgery is recommended in these cases.
