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

Sternal resection and anterior chest wall reconstruction techniques for malignant processes are not always standardized. We report an innovative method of sternal osteosynthesis in two patients, 65-year-old and 41-year-old women, with Ewing's sarcoma, and infiltrating thymoma, respectively. The first case manifested itself as a voluminous palpable mass while the second case was characterized for a paramediastinal mass widely extended to the anterior chest wall. Reconstruction with titanium mesh allowed the quick restoration of parietal stability, facilitating respiratory dynamic and recovery of patients.
