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 lymphatic involvement of sarcomas is an extremely rare form of metastases. We report the computed tomography (CT) features of pathologically confirmed pulmonary lymphatic involvement from metastatic uterine sarcomas. The CT illustrated smooth or nodular thickenings of the interlobular septa and bronchovascular bundle. Moreover, ground-glass opacity along the interlobular septa was also detected. These findings suggest that lymphatic involvement has diagnostic value for detecting this rare form of metastatic sarcomas. We also discuss possible differential diagnoses in this case and review previous cases reporting pulmonary lymphatic involvement in metastatic sarcomas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing pulmonary lymphatic involvement in metastatic uterine sarcomas. Pulmonary lymphatic spread of sarcomas is a rare form of metastatic sarcomas, but it should be considered when these findings suggesting lymphatic involvement are detected on CT.
